About Me

I am a second year teacher and loving every minute of it! I have the most adorable and hilarious kiddos. They keep me entertained and I just hope they're learning as much from me as I am from them.

October

We had some firemen come and give us a special presentation on Fire Safety! Very fun day to be a firstie!


We made some Witches Brew on Halloween, these are the yukcy earth worms we mixed in our brew.

...and some yummy skeleton teeth!

Testing to see if our pumpkin would sink or float

Weighing our pumpkin

...and now to count the many, many seeds in our pumpkin

keep on counting!


Happy Halloween from the Firsties in Room G10!

I told them to make a scary halloween face, and this is what I got.  PRICELESS!

September

 The kids had a lot of fun practicing counting.  They played "Race to Ten, Then Again."  It was fun watching the kids work together and build friendships :)


 Counting with M&Ms...amazing how much these little firsties LOVE doing Math when chocolate is involved!

 We had a very special visitor come read to our class in September.  One of my student's from last year came to read one of her favorite stories, funny for me to think that some of these kids will probably be visiting me next year doing the same thing! :)
 Our class along with Ms. Clemmer's class did a service project for one of the local nursing homes to teach the kids about communities.  We made over 40 goodie bags to send to the nursing home, and even got to visit with two of the residents.  The kids had so much fun!


 We had our field trip to the Apple Orchard at Sky Top in September.  It was extremely unorganized, but the kids had SO much fun.  They're still asking me when our next field trip is...I just can't bring myself to tell them that they have to wait until May :)



 This was the only group picture we got at Sky Top, but I love it because you can really see each kiddos personality.  I think it's just precious!


Once upon an August...

So I have tons of pictures that I have taken throughout the year, but there is no rhyme or reason to them.  So I've decided to just post what I have and then start being organized later :)

Here are some snap shots from the beginning of the year:
 First week of school
 Just some "twizzler writing"
 They had so much fun!

 ...and this is why my job is so much fun :)
