Welcome to My Blog!

Being a teacher is full of ups, downs, and in betweens. I love the look on a students face when they learn how to read. I love when students can solve problems on their own. I absolutely love when students feel proud of their work, and want to share it with the class. This blog is going to be full of moments in the classroom, pictures, and sometimes videos. Take everything with a grain of salt, as it is my opinion & reflections.

Acting Out Vocabulary

The word is "shoved" and these little firsties planned what to do, and added a fun accent to make it super southern and very interesting! Love this!

Tid-bits of 1st Grade

I am a KNIGHTS alumni so this picture was only to reward the hardwork of the letter he wrote to me!
 
After the students wrote the letters, they had to pose the pictures also.

Here I am supposed to be an OWL as he put an owl clip-art in the letter!

Here I am supposed to be a chomping Gator.


Stanley
Last week went by so fast. I absolutely adore each and every first grader in my room. I am so thankful for each little face.

Spelling Words

I wrote on your child's study guide words that I have noticed they need practice with. Study with them, as after next week- we will be moving on. Thank you!

Mystery Reader- Flat Stanley



We had a mystery reader today, come and read to us about a man named Stanley. Stanley became flattened by the bulletin board, and decided that he would make the most of his situation, and travel in the mail. The kids loved the reader, and loved the story! Thank you, Miss Christine!

Crazy Fingers

I let the kids wear crazy fingers as a reward in class. They thought it was hilarious. It was literally a shocking fact when the kids figured out they weren't my real nails, and I didn't just get a bad manicure. I also let the kids wear crazy sunglasses for a reward. They had TOO much fun with this!




Also, again....I welcome and appreciate the  little divas in my class- who actively practice and make up songs to perform for a video.

You should see a yellow list that says "1st 26 Words"

Your child can do fun things like play games, take quizzes, etc. to help them master these 26 spelling words.
