A BIG THANK YOU!!!!

This weekend at the cake auction my husband and I were bidding on some delicious chocolate cake pops. I know they are delicious because they are made by Grace's mom Trina : ) . Anyway, by the time we left the auction we had been outbid. To my surprise when I arrived at school Monday I had the cake pops on my desk!! Whoever bought them for me wanted to remain anonymous so this is my only way of thanking them. So, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I can't wait to bring them home and surprise my husband!!

Stone People Game

Here we are playing a Native American game called Stone People. This game involves listening, sequence and story retell. Our buddies made rocks with symbols on them. First graders then had to come up with a story that would involve all three symbols on the rocks and their buddies had to decide whether or not the story made sense. Enjoy the slideshow and have a wonderful weekend.

Computer Lab

This week we used the computer lab for the first time. The first graders were able to get their computers, open and turn them on, get online and find our blog, then access a link to a math game. They did such a great job and were very careful with the laptops. We will definitely be seeing a lot more of the lab!

What a Week!

Here are pictures from our week full of fun! The pictures taken during our poem book reading in the dark turned out blurry, but I thought you would enjoy them anyway. Have a Happy Halloween!

Writer's Workshop

Writer's Workshop is a time that children are able to write about experiences, family, friends or create a make believe story. As they write I walk around the classroom and have small meetings (about 2-3 minutes) with individual students to help guide their writing. We have been doing Writer's Workshop for several weeks now and we have started our peer editing. This is a time that students use to make their writing better. Students discuss what has been written and look for places they could add detail. We give one compliment and one suggestion. I have seen such growth in their writing and there is nothing better than a first graders imagination! Writer's Workshop folders will be shared at parent/teacher conferences. I hope you enjoy the slideshow!
