I would LOVE a cute rug, but we have
pea gravel on our playground, so it would
get destroyed! The students get FILTHY!

Enjoying our Jitter Juice!

Practicing our alphabet with chalk!

I ended up with 27 students.

This is my largest class ever in 13 

years of teaching! We sure have

a tight fit in my classroom!

I haven't been snapping pictures

of all of our activities either.

There just doesn't seem to be time!

I am pretty disappointed by this fact.

I started my blog in October last year

so I didn't get to blog about all of my

back to school activities.

Maybe next year!

This is a quick list of our 1st week.

We are working on routines, procedures

and attention-getters.

Whole Brain all the way!

Monday- First Grade Jitters & Jitter Juice

The Kissing Hand & handprint sugar cookies

with a red frosting heart in the center.

I put frosting on the fingertips of the cookies

for the girls for nailpolish.

Tuesday- Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Chase

& CCBB treats ) Alphabits & Cocoa Puffs

mixed like Rice Krispie treats...

I did have one left so I got a picture.

Wednesday- Will I Have a Friend?

Sugar cookies & orange juice (from the story)

Thursday- The Crayon Box that Talked

Scribblers popsicles

Friday- My Teacher Sleeps in School

Cakes decorated like the cake in the book

       

Now, if you are like me, I am

always curious about other 

1st grade lesson plans.

It shows up wonky on the preview,

but when I downloaded it for a test,

it was fine.

FREEBIE PLAYING CARDS!

If you have a casino in your area,

they may donate their decks of 

used playing cards to you!

They can only use them so many

times so they are in great shape 

and they have a ton.

Just take out the face cards

and you have easy and FREE

math centers for games.

No more copying, laminating

and cutting out number cards!

There are so many games to play!

Addition War, 10's Memory Match,

Tens Go Fish, to name a few!

Thanks for stopping by!
