Week 32: Meetings and Many Thanks!

As our year comes to an end, we will be reflecting on everything we have learned in first grade.  Since day one, we always start and end our day in a meeting.  The morning and afternoon meeting allows us to greet each other and discuss important information that may be happening throughout the school week.  This is also a time where we set goals for ourselves and discuss ways we can make improvements and help us become a better class as a whole.  We are a family and families need to discuss things to make things better or resolve issues. 

This week was great!  I was overwhelmed with the love and appreciation from Mr. Cook and all of you.  I truly LOVE my job and what I do.  I love my kids and couldn't imagine doing anything else!  Thank you so much for the gifts and thoughtful words!  You all have been amazing parents to work with and I will continue to help "our kids" to be their best in first grade!

Week 31: Classroom Store

To end our money unit, we had a classroom store.  This interactive and fun activity allowed students to experience a real shopping experience that helped them count out a specific amount of money. 
On Wednesday, we set the prices less than $1.00 ....but on Friday, there was a price increase and everything was over $1.00.  The students had a lot of fun shopping at our classroom store!

Week 30: Science Day!

 

We were so lucky to have Jason Bennett (Jack's Dad) and some of his Penn State Behrend students come to our school this past Wednesday and have a Science Day for our first graders!  Both first grade classes got to experience fun activities and demonstrations that sparked their scientific minds.

Thank you Dr. Bennett and students for creating a memorable experience for our first graders. 

Week 29: Happy Easter!

We are sure having a lot of fun in first grade!  We love having Miss Throckmorton (or Miss T.) in our classroom to help out and learn how to be a teacher!  She has been doing a wonderful job as our student teacher.

We did lots of fun Easter/Spring activities on Monday and Tuesday.

 

Happy Easter to everyone!
