Our final activity was to have a classroom store!
The children brought in a toy or stuffed animal, we priced each item, and then the children went around "shopping" for toys while counting out the correct amount of money!

Week 30: Good Job to our 5th Grade Buddies!
For the past two weeks, the 3rd-5th graders have been taking the PSSA tests. We adopted a 5th grade classroom and provided them with motivational posters and goodies!
Thursday was their last day of the PSSA math test! We wanted to celebrate their sweet success by giving them a certificate and a piece of candy!
We are so proud of our 5th grade buddies and all of the students at Klein Elementary!

Week 29: OREO Opinion Writing
This month in Writer's Workshop, the first graders are learning how to write an opinion and then support their opinion by stating reasons and examples.
A double stuffed oreo was our tool to learn how to write a great opinion letter.
After we practiced writing a few OREO opinion letters to Mrs. Cady and our parents, we decided to write a letter to our principal asking him for new playground equipment.
The children had four choices:
The children wrote awesome opinion letters to Mr. Cook asking for a new piece of playground equipment!
On Friday, we asked Mr. Cook to visit our classroom and we read some of our opinion letters to Mr. Cook. He was very impressed!
To celebrate, we enjoyed yummy double stuffed Oreos on the playground!

Week 28: Math May Dos
Math is so much fun in first grade! We enjoy mastering our math facts and learning important life skills like telling time and measuring things with inches and centimeters.
One way I like to engage my students is by giving them time to complete different activities with their group members that help reinforce the skills being taught and also reteaches previous skills that we learned earlier in the year.
We like to call this time: Math May Dos. We spend about 15 minutes at the end of every math lesson doing these activities. The groups rotate each week by doing an activity with the teacher (this usually includes QR codes and Ipads), whiteboard math, different math sheets, and playing different math games with partners. The busy bee and the worker bee get to use the computers to play fun math games!
We really do have lots of fun in first grade!!
