Happy Friday!

Today our entire team got together for a special project. We read aloud, The Kissing Hand, and then students traced and decorated their hand. All of our hands will come together to create a Kaleidoscope banner.










We ended our day exploring some choice time centers with new friends! It has been an awesome week!!

More First Grade Fun!

Today we started a special book project based on the story, The Day the Crayons Quit. Everyone was excited to get their own new box of crayons!




We are all enjoying getting to know each other. Today we started "Mystery Posters"....a fun way to learn about our new friends.









In math today we introduced our Number Corner activities and then spent some time exploring with our pattern blocks. Students worked in cooperative groups focusing on sharing, helping each other and using kind words. They created amazing things together!

First Day of First Grade!

We had a happy, hot first day of school.  Our popsicle party cooled us off.
While enjoying our pops, we found a couple of frogs, who knew where to hang out, the shade!
We finished up with a cool, calm ending to our day.  We talked about our team name, played with real Kaleidoscopes and drew our own.
