Thankfulness

My students made this book for me in their library class this morning! I was so proud of it I just HAD to share!!

A big thanks to Mrs. Joni for taking these pics for us!

Special events

I wanted to share a few class pictures from some of the special events we've had as a class...

Western Day! 

This was our wear red day during drug-free week. Mrs. Spivey visited our classroom and talked about the importance of staying drug-free and the students got special treats every day this week. 

Halloween!! The top picture is our class and the picture below is the first grade team. Each year, the grade levels come up with a theme for the grade. First grade went as characters from Peter Pan this year (which is why I am wearing a nightgown, I'm Wendy). Your kids looked fabulous! 

Mr. Redfearn came to talk to the first graders about serving our country on Veterans Day. The kids asked him lots of great questions and they all wrote him 'thank you' notes for coming to visit.

On the playground

Last week I took a few pictures of my students on the playground. I think it's neat that these kids choose to play with each other when there are so many other kids to play with. I love our little classroom family! 

3D Shapes

We recently finished up our unit on 2D and 3D shapes. During a 3D shapes lesson, I divided the students into groups and had them make something out of the shapes that I gave them. Here are their fabulous creations!

Almost every week, I like to find fun videos and songs that go along with what we are learning to help the students remember the content a little better. When we were working on our 3D shapes, I made this little video to our 3D shapes song:
