A Rainy Trip to the Zoo

A Rainy Trip to the Zoo

It rained and rained on our trip to the Utica Zoo today... but did the children notice? Some of them even "ditched" their umbrellas to take a closer look at the animals!

The Ride Home...

Field Day Fun

Today was Field Day! We had a blast at the stations Mr. Slater set up for us! Check out these pictures to get a taste of what our morning was like!

Leading By Example

First graders lead by example when reading with kindergarten reading buddies! Once a week for twenty-five minutes the students get together and explore reading. Through the use of poetry, word cards and selected books the children enjoy each other's company while enhancing their reading fluency.  

Money Relay

Today during Power Up we continued to learn about money through a money relay game! With the help of some 6th graders the students were able to practice money concepts while moving quickly through stations.  It was an afternoon of learning with laughter!

        First Grade: The bright eyes, the laughs, the silliness, the smiles, the tears, the "ah ha" moments, the erasing and the hugs.  This blog is dedicated to those moments that only first graders can give.  I hope to share many of those wonderful moments with you!

It's spring and planting time is here! It all starts with that tiny seed.  We found them in fruits and veggies and counted them.  For some it was a hard and messy job! In the end we all got to taste what the seeds will turn into: peppers, cantaloupe, avocado, apples and oranges. Yum!
