Week 2: Fun with QR Codes!

I love using technology in our classroom.  We have a smartboard, two student computers, and three I-pads.  During the year, I try to create lessons that are fun and engaging to help the students learn the important content. 

This year, I am using QR codes!  QR codes are like bar codes.  The students can scan a QR code and it will take them directly to a website, video, or text. 

Here are the kids rolling a QR Code Cube.  When they scan the QR code, a "Getting to know you" question pops up!








This QR code goes directly to a youtube video for counting by 5's and 10's!  The kids love scanning the codes and seeing where it will take them!





I am really looking forward to using
QR codes in the classroom this year!!

Week 1: Off to a Great Start!


We had a great first week in first grade!  Our classroom is looking wonderful with all of our family pictures!  It is very comforting to see our families during the day.


This week, we did lots of "getting to know you" activities and name activities.  We also spent a lot of time learning the rules and procedures of our classroom and school. 





Playing "Fruit Salad" Game

Thank you for sending in Summer Souvenirs.  The children did a great job sharing their special objects and stories with the class. 




 
 
We are off to a great start!  Looking forward to a wonderful year in first grade!
