Math Game with Partner

On Thursday, the students worked with a partner and played a math game practicing their addition facts.  Hopefully they have gotten you to play a game with them at home! 

The Frog Prince Play

The students enjoyed their first field trip to Cedar Falls to see the play The Frog Prince.  They also enjoyed going to a museum to learn more about animals and their habitats.  They were all kids of character during the entire field trip! 

Character Counts Assembly - Respect

We had our Character Count assembly on Friday to give out the award for the student who demonstrates RESPECT in our classroom and school.  We also had three other students earn awards for math, reading, and writing.  Good job, First graders!  Our next character count pillar will be CARING for November and December. 

Spelling

Starting this Monday we will begin Spelling and will have our pre-test on Monday with our final test on Friday.  The students will have their spellings words sent home with them on Monday and they will have all week to study their words.  Make sure to study their spelling words with them each night.   

Inside Recess FUN!

The first graders were very creative builders last week during inside recess.

Go Cadets!

The students enjoyed going to the Pep Rally on Friday to cheer on the Cadets! 

Character Counts Assembly - Responsibility

On Friday, we had our first Character Counts Assembly.  Our pillar for the month of September was Responsibility.  I also gave out awards for most improved in reading, writing, and math. 

Scholastic Book Order

I will be submitting our first Scholastic Book order on Monday, September 28.  If you would like to order any books, please turn in your book order to me by Monday or order your books online!  It is a great way to add inexpensive books to your child's library at home! 

Open House at Pineview

Don't forget that OPEN HOUSE is Tuesday, September 20 at Pineview starting at 6:00-7:00.  This is a wonderful opportunity for your child to show you the classroom and what they have been learning!  I would also like you to sign up for Parent/Teacher Conferences in October during Open House.  Hope to to see you there! 

Sharing in First Grade

The First Graders are doing a great job bringing in their 3 things to share.  This is a great opportunity for the students to speak in front of their classmates and answer questions they might have about their sharing.  The students have been working on ASKING questions instead of TELLING something about the sharing items.  Remember if you get the sharing bag have your child chose 3 items that will fit in the bag to school the next day for their sharing! 

First Week of School!

The first graders had a wondeful first week of school and have been working hard.  We are busy completing assessments and learning new routines and rules of the classroom.  On Wednesday, August 31 the first graders will have DIBELS testing - make sure to get a good nights rest and healthy breakfast on Wednesday morning!  We will not have school on Sept. 5th for Labor Day.  In this picture, Mr. Robison is reading to the first graders during our first week of school. 

FIRST day of School!

Our first day of school is August 23 and we will be dismissing at 2:00!  Make sure to watch the news or listen to the radio JUST in case we dismiss early due to heat...it is suppose to get even hotter these next couple of days! 

Thank you to all who attended Orientation!  It was so fun to meet everyone and hopefully you are just as excited as I am to start the new school year.  Remember if you haven't already return your PINK "News about me" sheet that I sent to you in August so I can learn even more about you and any other paperwork to school.

Orientation - August 22 5:00-6:00

Make sure to visit me and our classroom on August 22 at 5:00-6:00.  This is a great time to explore the classroom and bring your school supplies for the first day of school.  I will also have some paper work for parents to fill out before the first day of school.

Don't forget to keep searching for our monarch caterpillars - they love milkweed so you might be able to find some eggs under the leaves.  They are white and very small.  Bring them to school so we can learn more about the life cycle of the monarch butterfly!

See you soon!

Dental Parade - Putting our best foot forward!

Students enjoyed a cool treat after the Dental Parade!

Field Day & Dental Parade NEXT WEEK!

Just a reminder that Field Day will be Tuesday at Pineview - make sure your child wears comfortable work out clothes and shoes!  It will be a very active day full of activities outside! 

AND...

Friday is our DENTAL PARADE starting at 1:30.  Make sure you child wears RED and comfortable shoes!

I-Pad in the Classroom

We have been using our new i-pad in the classroom for math stations, daily five word work stations, and guided reading.  It is amazing what you can do on the i-pad.  The students were very excited to use it during our Clock stations to practice telling time to the hour and half hour. 

Sharing in First Grade

We had two students bring animals for their sharing.  The students were excited to learn more about these animals from their friends. 

Ireland Presentation

On Wednesday, the day before St. Patrick's Day, the students listened to Mrs. Burchfield and Mrs. Moore share some information about Ireland.  Both of these first grade teachers are Irish and enjoyed sharing some of their Irish heritage with the first graders.  The students learned about Ireland, St. Patrick as well as some traditions of Ireland.  We also learned why you get pinched if you DON'T wear GREEN on St. Patrick's Day! 

What is MAGNETIC in our room?

On Friday, the students explored our room to find items that were magnetic.  The students made some good observations and asked some great questions.  Why would one magnet work on an object and the other ones wouldn't?  Why would certain metals attract to our magnets and others wouldn't?  Ask your child what they observed or learned from our experiment! 

Partner Reading

Students are reading with partners their story of the week.  Mr. Warrington enjoyed listening to the students read when he was visiting the classroom.  He was on leave the first part of February from Afghanistan and enjoyed his time in the classroom with all of the students!
