Well, it's that time of year. Spring State Testing. While first grade doesn't test, we do have three testing grades at my school so the whole place will be under lock down each day. So we tend to keep to our little corner of the school during this week, or we just leave school altogether! For example, we have our field trip to the Strawberry Farm ! Here are my plans for the week. This week will be super fun! We are going on a field trip, starting measurement, reading about insects, talking about emotions, and writing all types of sentences! Our ELA skills focus on:  classifying and categorizing emotions changing y to i, adding er, est author's purpose types of sentences In small groups, I've got some fun activities for each level group.  In centers and small groups we will be doing some simple print and go centers:  Our math skills:  measuring with standard and nonstandard units We begin our Unit 11 Measurement unit Unit 11 Measurement available in my store Science:...

Happy Sunday guys! My weekend has flown by! Are you ready for Sneak Peek Sunday? Lots going on this week! Here is a peek at my week:  So we are doing some comparing and contrasting, figurative language, and exclamations! In Science we are still working on plants in preparation for our field trip next Tuesday to the Strawberry farm.  In small groups we will be looking at inflectional endings and the sounds of -ed.  Some centers this week include:  Last week, we read the book Gregory the Terrible Eater and LOVED it! I made an entire unit based on the book back in my student teaching days and it's stuck with me. I've since digitized it and you can download it HERE . Keep in mind though, that it's not all updated and cutesy-I made it before I really got into TpT.  All of the above activities are FREE for you to download {{HERE}}! And this little task card set from my Spring Math and Literacy centers bundle.  And Jelly Bean Word Sort! Click to see this bundle on...

Hi friends! I've mentioned once or twice about how I do my morning math with my kiddos. I've even shared some pics of my students' decompositions. There is A LOT of information about how I spend this very valuable time with my firsties. Here is a little presentation I put together on how I do my morning math. I hope it's more enjoyable than me rambling on about it. Lol. I would love to hear your opinions! Thanks!

Hi friends! Just a quick jot tonight to share my lesson plans for the week. As I prepare to watch the season finale of The Walking Dead with my yummy dinner of Trix cereal, I thought, "I can post about my fabulous upcoming week and put off thinking about the horrible things that are going to happen on TWD." Like, I don't even want to watch because I just know I'm going to freak out!  Anyway, this week is the week back after Spring Break. And boy did these days fly by! But I am excited to see my kiddos and get back into the swing of things.  Here you go.  \ This week we begin our study of the Human Body. We don't use any one curriculum to teach Science, so we just pull together a couple of different things. We really LOVE all the School House Rock videos about the human body!
