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.

Cold, Snowy Days

 This past week, I did not get as many photos as I normally do.  It is apparent that we needed lots of movement inside the classroom since the weather outside didn't allow us to have many outside recess days.  Here are some photos from our week:

Measuring, Counting, and Fractions ~ Oh My!

 This past week we enjoyed measuring fish and determining if they were 'keepers', playing a new game using a 120's chart, and learning about fractions.  Here are some photos from our week:

What Time is It?

 What a whirlwind of a week we had when we returned from break!  After making many tweaks, snack time is going much more smoothly and we are getting closer and closer to getting used to our new daily schedule.  Here are some photos from our week:
