Synonyms and Symbols!

Last week we studies synonyms and it was so much fun! We made synonym flowers, cinnamon synonym rolls and much more! 

                                   

We also finished our symbols unit a couple of weeks ago! I am amazed at the work they present to their class! They are so proficient on the iPad! I love for them to research, learn, and teach their classmates about what they know! 

Check them out!

Animal Madness

Well March and March Madness have come and gone but....I have some fantastic animal presentations for you!!! These firsties worked very hard on these projects. We checked books out at the library, internet research and wrote our reports before we put all of the info in to Haiku Deck. 

The VA standard of learning for animals is: 1.5 The student will investigate and understand that animals, including humans, have basic needs and certain distinguishing characteristics.

So we discussed animal classifications and characteristics and then the students choose an animal to investigate further. They needed to add what habitat their animal lived in, how it moved, and what kind of covering it had. 

Here are the finished project!

February Fun

February Fun

Although the kids would rather go outside, indoor recess has been a blast for them since I found these blocks. They LOVE them! Let's hope it stays warm so we can go outside for the rest of the year!!!!

The 100th day was a BLAST! The kids did a great job dressing up and we made this 100 day snack which was really yummy!

Motion Lab

Last week we completed this motion lab before our assessment. They REALLY loved it! I layed out several toys that had different types of motion and they had to record what it was and how it moved. 

These were blurry as they were moving. But the picture above is of a windmill toy and the one below is a clapper. 

Bouncy ball's were flying all over the room!

A top!

Enjoy! I hope you have a great snow day tomorrow! We will be making these bags and exchanging Valentine's on whatever day we return!

I AM AWESOME!!!

We had an assembly today centered around the prhase, "I AM AWESOME"! We want the kids to know they are awesome and think of ways to be more awesome! It was so much fun!

We watched this video and another of students from our school saying they are awesome and let me tell ya....this first grade class was into it! ZERO talking coming from our class?!?! AMAZING!

We went back to class and made our "Awesome" goal and put it on our new head bands!

I wish I snapped more pics for you!

Let's have an AWESOME year!

Thanksgiving Feast

We had an amazing time yesterday with Mrs. Wiggert's class. Her little pilgrims invited us to a fest and we went and enjoyed some pumpkin pie, fresh popcorn (thanks Mrs. West!), craizins, and some apple juice. It was perfect! We then went back to our room and watched, The Night Before Thanksgiving, by Dav Pilkey.

                      
Here are my little Native Americans. Thank you to Kroger for the donated paper bags!

I hope you all have a happy Thanksgiving!

October Fun!

It has been awhile! Here are a few pictures of what we have been up to!  =)

Have a great weekend!
