Blueberries, blueberry muffins, and chocolate covered pretzels with blue sprinkles + Hershey kisses (cookie) were provided by a parent for our yummy BLUE snack! 

 Wow! What a perfectly drawn WHALE! =)

 Our color poem of the day!

 CHEESE!!!

Orange you havin' FUN!?

We have been having WAY too much fun with our color days! Of course I was so worried about everything going right on Monday, I spaced off my camera! I borrowed another teacher's (thanks Mrs. Walshire!), but it was running on low batteries! So I didn't get as many pictures as I'd like! Please enjoy! Click on them to make them bigger!

 Orange jello, orange fruit cups, and Sunny Delight were provided by parents on ORANGE day!

 The Big Orange Splot by Daniel Pinkwater inspired us to draw our OWN dream houses... and then that sneaky Ms. Searles came around and splotted them! ;)

Marvelous Math Students

Every day I come to work and am excited to spend seven hours with my firsties! Your children brighten my day and amaze me with how smart they are! Many of us look forward to our math time, because of the fun games we get to play. Here are a few more videos that wrap up out Unit 1 in the Everyday Math series! Keep a look out for pictures of our color theme! By the way, every child came to school with orange on!! Love all of your hard work parents! =) Thank you for ALL that you do!

First full week of school!

1st Day of School Activities and Other...

Check us out! We LOVE our reading chairs!

Walk, walk, sneak if you can, you can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man!!!

 He said he'd be in a place where there are lots and lots of books!

 He left us another note! He snuck to a friendly face, that answers phones in a busy place! To Mrs. DiDio in the OFFICE!

 But we weren't fast enough! Yet another note! He's off to a place where you exercise and eat! The GYM!

 He got hurt while running, and had to go get some ice! Off to the nurses office we go!

 Mrs. Brackey was looking and looking!!

 What does the note say? He went back to a cozy classroom?! Ours?!!!

 That sneaky Gingerbread Man! He left us something on our tables...!!

 We are SO confused! Where did he go?!

Off to a Great Start!

Hello parents, guardians, and friends,
 We're off to a great school year already! Our class is made up of very sweet kids and I couldn't be more proud! I've already seen a lot of sharing take place and that just makes my heart happy! We counted to 180 today, and I was wore out by 150, but the kids begged to go on! Another proud teacher moment! :o)

 Today the kids should have came home with their MONSTER binders! I promise that more information will be posted about those throughout the next couple of weeks. Parent Night is right around the corner and I can't wait to welcome YOU into our room as well =).

  Have a wonderful Friday, and an even better weekend!

Enrollment

First of all, I must say that it was GREAT meeting all of the students and parents that stopped by last night to drop supplies off, or to just say hi! I apologize for the room being so empty, however it continues to come together! Also, I was excited to hear that some of you have already checked out the website and/or blog! Keep looking back for updates!

Parent Night will be Wednesday, August 31! Mark your calendars!
