Little Sports

After school I went down to the field to see some of the coolest First Graders play ball. It was pretty cool since a few of the kids in the class were playing each other!

New year and a new grade!

Hi Everyone,

I can not wait to start blogging this year. I have been moved to a new grade and very excited to teach some new material to my first graders. Keep and eye out for weekly announcements and posts at the start of the second nine weeks!!!!

Amazing Addition

What a wonderful year it has been so far. I am amazed that these little ones are already capable of doing the addition problems that they are. Here at HW Good we like to get on hands on Math. By practicing with hard materials students are able to physically see how addition works. What a fabulous way to practice!

Here are a few snapshots from our practice in the Math lab this week.

Jungle Safari 2015-2016

This year has been off to a crazy start. However, more excited than ever I am now a First Grade Teacher instead of Kindergarten. The best part is I got to bring some of my kiddos with me. This year is the same jungle theme but with new elements in the room. This year will bring many firsts for me. I am most looking forward to exploring the geography of our country and world with my first graders. Now that they are a bit older I can open their eyes to even newer and exciting things. This years focus will be South America and the Amazon!!! Keep an eye out as I travel with my first grade classroom as well as my Around the World- A Cultural Adventure students K-4.

 Here is a small tour of the room:

Congrats Kinder Grads

This year has been a blast. I was moved to a new school and a little nervous. However my new Kindergarten classroom was energetic and full of personality. It is with great pride that I send them off to 1st grade but also with sadness because I will miss them. Maybe I will see them next year!!! Hehehe ;-)

*** The classroom writing books that the class published are now available for pick up in the office if you ordered one. Mrs. Kuttler has the books along with the ordering list! Have a wonderful summer!

Here are the class graduation photos:

Fun Day

Fun Day was more exciting than I could have imagined. The PTO at our school really goes above and beyond during our fun day. Not only did we have one bounce house but we had four! They also got a dunk tank that students could pay to dunk the teachers in. Luckily I was dunked 26 times. Even my nephew came out with my parents to hit the target (my dad had to push his hand on it) to dunk me. The kids got a real kick out of it. I was able to capture some of the fun and make a short video!
