A Great "Word Study" Site!!

Click on the link below for  a GREAT site to explore words with your students. It makes a great tool for whole group Word Study lessons on your smart board or independent research work on the computer. My "Firsties" love to practice their weekly words this way and after we have completed our lesson, we can print out the Fridge and paste the words in our Word Study Journals. AWESOME!!!

Writing WOW

I just love reading my students writing!!! I seem to learn so much from them this way...like, who they really like to play with, what they like to read and how they really feel about their classroom! Check this writing out! I was blown away with the details in the illustration!! Amazing:)

Great Finds....

Just like lots of people these days, I am HOOKED on Pinterest!!! What a great way to find things....with the help of your friends!!!
Here are some of the new math ideas that I have started my school year off with!! So far, they are a HUGE hit!!!

This is a great place value game from ....http://whattheteacherwants.blogspot.com/.  The "Firsties" love it!!!

And to go along with Everyday Math, I found this smart board "Rolling for 50" game from....http://tekyteach.blogspot.com.  They also have the Dice, Roll and Tally Game, Penny Nickel Exchange and Bunny Hop!!!  I let the students choose Smart Board Games as one of their Math Game Rotation choices.  It makes learning so much fun!!!!
