Listen To Your MUMMY...



For Red Ribbon Week our PTA had a door decorating contest. We didn't win, but I honestly think our door was the cutest one for sure!!!

Smokey Bear!




Only you can prevent fires!!! Smokey Bear came to visit our class during fire prevention week. Smokey's friends taught us the difference between "good" fires and "bad" fires. The kids thought it was exciting to see him and were really surprised. I hadn't told them he was coming!

This is going to be yet another crazy, busy week. Tuesday night is the fall carnival here at the school. Come have a fun family night. Wednesday we will be going on a field trip to the Corn Maze and of course on Friday we will have our class Halloween party! Of course I will post pictures of these events later...

I am not going to post names of our 100% spellers this week. EVERYONE in our class got at least a 90% on our spelling test this week (words with short u)!!! I am so proud of these kiddos! They are working hard and they all deserve a hug!

Super Spellers!

School is flying by... 28 days of first grade today! I am so proud of the kids and I feel I am really beginning to really know each one of them individually! We have a busy week to look forward to next week. It will be Red Ribbon Week. It is also Fire Prevention week and we have a special guest coming to visit our classroom on Monday! (stay tuned):)

Friday's are early out days, but are very important and busy. We do weekly assessments on Fridays and we also get to do math centers. The kids really look forward to math centers each week. We do literacy centers Mon.- Thurs. and I really wanted to fit a time in for the kids to get their hands on experiences with manipulatives and fun math activities. I am glad they enjoy them so much and to tell you the truth, I look forward to math centers each week also. I really believe I would have loved math much more as a child had I gotten to do more "hands on" discovery. Feel free to come visit our class anytime...
