measurement, time, and grammar. all the good stuff.

a few first grade things as of late...

gallon man!  

to learn liquid measurement... SUCH a great way for students to understand liquid measurement... they loved it!

we do time in lots of different ways.  but this one has a second layer behind that has "5, 10, 15...etc." to represent the minutes--the students really caught on to each number representing 5 minutes with this.

pronoun spring flowers. practicing some of the more common pronouns. we did spring acrostics with these and made a big hallway display!

i love my job.

so, i hate being away from micah... but i sure do love my job.

some days, or most days, i wish i was just two people.

instead, i'm just multiple personalities: teacher by day, mom by night and weekend.

here are some things from that the teacher side of me.

teaching half past and how to number a clock with pull and peel licorice.

(the kids get to bite the licorice to make the different length arms of the clock, too!)

teaching magnetic force with magnets, paperclips, and letting students choose items to discover what breaks the magnetic force.

a few other things i forgot to take pictures of...

-melted snowman writings: created pictures of melted snowmen and wrote how we thought our snowman melted.

-letters to our favorite famous character (after reading the jolly postman) and practice addressing envelopes

first grade is the best.
