It's been a while since I have been blogging! I have been swamped with my wonderful first graders and trying not to miss valuable time with my three special daughters.
Here is a project we worked on this week in First Grade. We are studying /OO/ digraph as in cook. The project is adorable and created with the help of my wonderful first grade team-member Karen Penkoski!
Students were to write several sentences using their /oo/ spelling words and then make a cook person with crazy hair! They liked it and of course the girls wanted to add bows!!!
It's Fun in First Grade (and being a mommy too)
I am a first grade teacher, mother of three girls, and a lover of crafting, shopping and repurposing! I'm always looking at other first grade and craft blogs, of course Pinterest so I decided to teach myself how to make my own blog sharing some aspects of teaching and being a mom! Thanks for visiting!

Ways to Make a Number
Our states new Math Standards are really difficult but in the end I truly believe my students will be more prepared then ever! We adopted a great series called GO Math that is completely aligned to the new standards. I try to make each lesson fun by adding some math/art project to Centers. Here is one that was for standard Operations and Algebraic Thinking.
"Ways to Make a Number"
Since it was Valentines time I made a bug using 8 V-color legs and students had to come up with 8 different ways to make a number. They really liked it. I let them pick any number they wanted.
A Dr. Seuss one will be posted soon...just in time for his Birthday!
Can differentiate since students get to pick their own number. I urged some to choose more difficutl numbers. |
Again, students had to come up with their own facts. Was impressed with this one. I also encourage three addends for some. |

Fabric Tutu Tutorial
Next I cut the ends on a diagonal. |
Here are a few done! |
With the left over fabric I made a headband to match. My next tutorial will be how to make these. |
I'm very pleased with how it came out. Hard to see the beauty of the tutu since she can't stand! |

Make it Monday Tuesday!
We celebrated Disney Day in our class last week! One of my parents decorated these water bottles. So simple yet so cute for the occasion. The grosgrain ribbon is wide which really makes it pop. She wrote the childrens' names on the Mickey foam ears. I will definitely use this idea again for other events at school and home.

I like the thick ribbon |
