FIRST WEEK FUN!

What an AWESOME and BUSY  first week we had!  We had so much getting to know each other and our new classroom routines. We read First Day Jitters on Monday and talked about how even teachers get nervous for the first day of school.  To help our "jitters" we made Jitter Juice.....boy was it good!    We read lots of stories by the author, Kevin Henkes.  Chrysanthemum, Worried Wimbledon, and Lilly's Purple Purse were just a few of our favorite.  We talked about why we wanted to be a peace maker and not a peace breaker in our classroom.  We had lots of fun getting our wiggles out during our brain breaks and  learning how to play new math games.  On Friday, we even made our own volcanoes!  I can already tell this is going to be an awesome year! 

 

Welcome Back!

Howdy Partners!

Welcome to first grade and to our class blog.  I hope you are ready to become a Parker Cowboy.  We are going to have a Rootin Tootin good time this year.

I created this blog to keep parents informed about what we are learning in our classroom.  I plan to update this site often with important information, pictures and activities.  Please check back often to see what we have been up to.

It was great  meeting my new buckaroos at Open House on  Friday.  If you were not able to come, please know that I have an open door policy in my classroom and you are always welcome to drop by anytime!  

Just a reminder that Monday we will go to PE for specials so wear your tennis shoes.  

Don't forget to put your Jitter Glitter under your pillow tomorrow night!  I can't wait to see everyone on Monday!
