Valentines Day!

We had a contest with the Valentines Day mailboxes. Everyone made the best box they could come up with -- we then voted who had the best Valentines Day themed box, Most Creative box, and Funniest box. Here are some of the canidates!

Grinch Day

Grinch Day! Welcome sign

I moved all of the clips on the management chart to a bad color... (That seems like something the Grinch would do!) 

Mr. Grinch wrote us a letter!

Grinch Glyph....Mr. Grinch was not flattered. 

He trashed the room with crate paper and threw tissue paper all over the desks.

He even turned our Monkey Elf green too!! ( the real brown one will make his appearance on Monday )

Nouns

We are learning about nouns in class. As an activity I let each child in the class take a post it and they labeled a "noun" in the classroom. They loved this activity and it got them up and moving around--which they loved! 

The Class Character Pumpkin!

All of 1st grade made a class pumpkin inspired by a character from a children's book. My class chose the book Cinderella and we made the carriage she rode to the ball in. Finishing touches: a horse, a coach to steer the carriage, and of course Cinderella!

Great Idea! I am going to see if I can find some volunteers to give their old devices away!

My Top Language Arts Work Stations

Here is my top language arts work station today. Taryn and Zach did a wonderful job working together! They came up with their own sentences to edit, correct, and punctuate. In this station, my students use sentence strips to write on, a multicolored pocket chart, and jewels / pipe cleaners for "end marks."  This is a wonderful catch all station that I am going to use throughout the year. I can just add material as I teach the standard in my focus lessons.
