Week 19: We love QR codes!

We use QR codes a lot in math.  It is a great way to engage students in learning.  
This week we used our Ipads to scan qr codes for 1 more/1 less, 10 more/10 less activities.  


It was super fun and the kids did great at solving the problems!

Week 18: Deputy Phil and Sunshine!

We have been having unseasonable, beautiful weather this month!!  I hope everyone had a chance to enjoy some quality family time outside this weekend!  I know Lily and I enjoyed playing outside and eating popsicles...just like we would on a spring or summer day! 

Hopefully, this beautiful weather is an indication that the 2nd half of the school year is going to be filled with warmth and sunshine! 

On Friday, the K-2 students attended the Deputy Phil Program.  Deputy Phil promotes kindness and being a buddy not a bully.  The kids enjoyed the magic show and also received a very important message.

Week 17: Venn Diagrams and 212

Sorry I skipped week 16 of my classroom blog.  I was sick and it was right after the holiday!

We are back in action here in first grade.  This week, the students were comparing and contrasting using a venn diagram.  They did some awesome work!  They had to think of things to wear in winter, things to wear in summer, and things that can be worn in both seasons.

Mr. Cook also inspired us all to Be 212 "Be 212"  You can learn more about this at   Or ask your child about it!  We will strive to be 212 each and everyday in our classroom!
