About Me

My photo
I graduated from the University of Cincinnati in June 2009. I began my wonderful career teaching first grade shortly thereafter, in August 2009. In June 2016, I completed my Masters with the focus in Reading grades K-6th. This will be my 14th year utilizing a blog and hope that it will provide parents with another avenue to view their child's accomplishments throughout the school year.

Collaboration

This past week we participated in a lot of learning through collaboration.
Here are some photos from our week:
A few students shared their narratives with the class.
Those students then called on other students who gave feedback; ex., one thing they liked about their writing, one thing they can work on for next time.
 
 All students paired with multiple partners to share their narratives and receive feedback. 
 
 Think/Pair/Sharing Ideas for Next Narrative 
 Playing Make 10
 
 Being Creative with K'Nex and LEGOs

Make 10

We had one of our best weeks yet in room 103!  Apparently, I only remembered to capture the moments from our week when the students played Make 10 two different days.  So, here are a few photos from our week:

What We 'Can Do'

After returning from a long break, we spent a lot of time reviewing everything we Can Do in Literacy Stations.  We also had fun with fractions and writing kindness goals with our buddies.  Here are some photos from our week:
