Happy Winter Vacation!

We've worked hard this week learning about fact families, letter writing, and Presidents Washington and Lincoln...........my firsties have become very knowledgeable about the presidents!

Wishing you all a fun and enjoyable week off with your child!

Valentine's Day Excitement!!!

We had a fun filled Valentine's Day! The student came in with loads of energy, and left with even more......and we didn't even have any sugar! We passed out our Valentine's this morning, then graphed them according to topic [animal, superhero, cartoon,etc.] We discussed our data, and my smarties came up with some excellent findings! This afternoon we decorated our 'Kindness Hearts', then passed out our comments to each other. Everyone was so excited to read all the kind thoughts! Lastly I passed out all the goodie bag items [again, thank you all SO much !] We had a "love"-ly day!! The pictures below show our classroom amongst all the decorating........it was a sea of red and pink in here!

Happy Valentine's Day !!  :-)

!00 Day - Part 2 !!

Here are a few pictures of our 100 Day Bulletin Board.........pictures of how the students think they will look when they're 100 years old. They were SO adorable!!

100 Day Fun!!

We had a FABULOUS 100 day!! We were greeted at our door announcing that we were now "100 Day Smarter!" We made 100 day necklaces, and 100 day headbands, along with MANY other 100 day activities! When asked what they liked best about 100 day, the answer was a unanimous 'EVERYTHING"!!!

Working hard this week!

Happy February.....GO PATS!!

I will make this a quick post since it is Superbowl Sunday! Can you believe that it is already February??

We had a lot of fun this week watching a LIVE streaming video of a Black Bear in her den [up in No.Maine]with 2 little cubs! Needless to say, we will be doing some quick research about black bears.....very fascinating to hear them grunting and squeeling. The babies are SO cute! It's become quite the activity in our classroom during free time!

I hope you have been able to practice with the flash cards that were sent home this past week. Soon a Math log will be sent home as well, with more direction on how and what to work on. So far we have been working with adding and subtracting 1's and 2's. We are also working on Math stories - which are fun to watch the students figure out - I love to see the different thought patterns!

Friday is our 100th day of school! We will be doing all sorts of activities with the number 100. I am looking forward to figuring out what is in all those 100 Day Bottles! Hopefully I will be able to post some pictures too!

I'll post more soon........off to watch the game!
