Community snack

Each piece of our snack symbolized an important aspect of our class as a community!  It sure was tasty!

So thankful for little turkeys!

We went on a trip all the way to Australia!  We went exploring with binoculars and snorkeling for sight word fish in the Great Barrier Reef.  All in all it was a wonderful trip down under!

These are pictures from our Publishing Party!  We each shared our best story from our small moments unit.  We were proud of all of the things we have learned how to do as writers and this was our chance to show off our progress and growth!!

Learning, learning, learning

England

These are pictures from our trip to Europe!  We had a wonderful time pretending to be English Guards protecting the Queen.  Remember Guards never, ever smile! We also got to be crowned Queens and Kings.  Watch out...we are royalty now :)

Halloween adventures!

We have little vampires running around Rose Lane!  We also have first graders estimating and counting pumpkin seeds, making art work, and participating in a wild rumpus!  What an exciting holiday!

October excitement with Mrs. Morkert

Mrs. Morkert visited our class for an afternoon filled with book reading, bat making, spider creating, and cookie decorating.  We had an absolute blast!  Thank you Mrs. Morkert for such a thoughtful treat!

Science with small solids!

Here are some pictures of us exploring and discovering with small solids.  We listed their many properties and then compared and contrasted the small solids with our previous exploration of liquids.  Science is SO much fun!

Nicole and her family

Below is another first grade family to celebrate!  Please feel free to comment or ask questions...I would like this site to help families communicate with each other.

Math Time!

This is us working on combinations of ten.  Some of us are playing towers of ten, others are playing in and out or even on and off.  We always say together that all mathematicians need to know combinations of ten so it is important to practice at home and at school!!

Washington D.C. Plane Trip

Well we packed our bags and headed for our Nation's capitol!  We met the President, toured the white house, visited the U.S. mint, and reviewed our countries symbols.  Here are pictures of us on the plane and learning all about Washington D.C.!

Family Fun Facts

This is our first family celebrated on our new blog.  Please read all about Gabriel and his beautiful family.  My goal is to increase family to family communication and community involvement so feel free to comment or ask questions about Gabriel and his family. Every week we will celebrate a new family in our first grade classroom :)

Patterns

We created all different kinds of patterns!  We even found patterns on our clothes!

Voting!

Voting!

We did a social studies lesson on the importance of voting!  We watched the candidates give their campaign speeches, we researched each candidate, we created political advertisements and then we voted!

Ms. Molly was the runner up!

Mr. Joe was the winner of the election!

Akyssa decided to vote for Ms Molly!

At first Jerron wanted Ms. Molly but later he changed his mind!
