Hat Day, Team Jersey Day, and SPORTS!

 

We finished up Red Ribbon Week with hat day on Thursday and team sport jersey/t-shirt day on Friday. On Friday we heard a presentation from UTA students about staying drug free.

Friday was the last day of the 1st nine weeks in FIRST GRADE already....time flies!

 

 

 

Hat Day (Thursday)

Team Sport Jersey/T-Shirt Day

 

 

Mrs. Hay was able to cheer on some friends from our classroom over the past two weekends. I enjoyed watching the Cheetah Girls (soccer) and Vikings (football). Again, if your child plays a sport, has a dance recital coming up, cheerleading competition or karate tournament please let me know and I would love to come watch/cheer them on!

 



 

CRAZY Hair and Door Decoration

We were "crazy about being drug free" today with our CRAZY hair.

We also decorated our door for the drug free door decorating contest.We made candy corns and used the slogan "Drugs are Corny!"

See you tonight for Spring Creek night from 5-9PM. Mrs. Hay will be there from 6-6:30 serving bread.

Tomorrow is SILLY SOCK Day!

See you tonight!

Red Ribbon Week- Pajama Day!

Today is the first day of red ribbon week. We were very comfy today, check out our pajamas! We "put drugs to sleep." Tomorrow is CRAZY hair day.

Spiders, College Day, and Red Ribbon

This past week we've been learning, reading and writing about SPIDERS! We made a KWL chart about spiders which is now hanging from the ceiling of our classroom complete with some webbing around it. We read non fiction books about spiders to add to our chart. We read The Very Busy Spider and Miss Spider's Tea Party. On Friday we had our very own tea party with spider cookies and apple juice.


Spider Cookies: Oreos with pretzel stick legs and M&M eyes.

October Birthdays and....BATS!

Mrs. Hay wants to wish a HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our October birthdays!

Last week we studied BATS! We made a KWL chart about what we already KNOW, what we WANT to find out, and what we LEARNED about bats. We also wrote about bats first with a circle map, then a tree map and then our batty sentences. We also created bats and traced our hands as the wings. In math, we skip counted by 5s and 10s using our bat wings. Our bats flew out into the hallway and are on display this week. In ELA we've started to talk about author's purpose and why books are written...are they to inform (to give us facts/information) or are they to entertain (for fun/enjoyment)? Students used Scholastic book forms to sort books into an inform or enterain t-chart. This week we will be reading about SPIDERS!

REMINDERS: this week is book fair in our school library and PTA meeting tomorrow night, Tuesday, October 16th at 7PM in the cafeteria. See you there!

Rangers and Patterns

Friday was Texas Rangers T-Shirt Day! Check out our Rangers spirit.

We also created pattern necklaces on Friday using fruit loops...Here is our class hard at work and a picture of completed necklaces.

Apples

Reminder....picture day tomorrow (Oct. 4th)  and no school on Monday, October 8th.

Here is a look at our apple learning in the hallway.

Our hallway contains: an apple glyph (at the top), apple writing (left board),
two graphs (on the right), and Johnny Appleseed facts (at the bottom).

                               

We graphed whether or not we liked the homemade applesauce.

We graphed our favorite "flavor" of apple.
We tasted red delicious, granny smith and gala apples.

Happy October!

WELCOME October and welcome to my new blog! Please check here for information about upcoming events, reminders, and exciting learning happening in our classroom.

We enjoyed learning, reading and writing about apples last week. If you have a chance, check out our hallway bulletin boards that are full of our apple work. We also loved tasting different apples last Thursday and making our applesauce last Friday...It made our room smell wonderful!!!
