Kid Bloggin' : Welcome to Our Room!


Welcome to our classroom!

We are excited to start a new school year. So far we have done a ton of exploring, routines, and learning! For our first blog post each group picked one area of our room to showcase for you!

Blue Group: The Cubbies
We are lovely first graders and we love our closet. It keeps our stuff away from us so we can work. I like taking pictures of my backpack because its rain proof.

Orange Group: nametags
We love them. We like them.I like that it has my name.

Pink Group: Stuffed animals
We like stuffed animals and stuffed animals are nice and comfy. Stuffed animals are cute. We use them to play with or to read with.

Yellow Group: Books
The books are for reading. The thing we like about the books is we get to read the books with the stuffed animals and the books have really good pictues in them and we like reading them.

Green Group: The tallies
We like the good ones and we don't like the bad ones. Whenever we're good we have to get good tallies or else we don't get to fill out a letter.

Here's to learning, playing, and making memories!

We’re BAAAAAaaaaack!

It is colorful!
It has lots of sizes.
It hasn't blogged this year.....

What is it?

It's our class!!!! We (meaning I) took a small break from the blogging world. We've had a lot of new "things" at our school and in our district that I focused my energy on. This included starting school-wide reading interventions, and with a new curriculum, as well as math interventions, a new testing program district wide, and a school-wide behavior matrix with ticket system. whew.....

So now that we are in the swing of things. I've decided to get back into this blogging and show my kiddos what it's like to do all that it entails. Welcome to our first installment: Describing Things (in our Classroom).















 Thanks for checking us out. We will continue to work on describing. Next stop....describing places!

Here's to good smells, sounds, and sights!

A Night of Reading Centers

Hey everyone!!!

It's been a while but we have been busy as bees here lately so let's fly right in. This semester we hosted our first Parent Night. Students worked together to decide what parents should get to know and see from our Reading Centers. We discussed how these centers are a part of our every day and families should see how we spend such a big part of our day. I then sent out a survey using the wonderful Google Forms to find which day worked best for families. After that, well, it was time to get some invitations made and get them in the hands of students and families. Thanks RedStamp for the beautiful and easy design process!


Since we do centers daily, there was no extra prep (which we can all appreciate) AND the students are the pros at doing this so they were the teachers the entire night. We had a great turnout! Check out my students in action!


We had a blast! The students are already excited about hosting a Math Center Night soon. Be on the lookout for our next event!
