Long, long, ago...

All our Kings & Queens

Long, long, ago......in Miss Fate & Mrs. Wyllie's first grade classroom lived 20 children.  They were so busy working they didn't even realize how much they were really learning......

Make sure to stop by & read our wonderful stories outside our room...

  Hopefully we are over this weather and spring in on its way...if not, we may have to work our fairy tale magic! We have remained busy this week, check out the pictures below from our literacy learning time:

Writing the Room on Screens

Listening to Speakaboos The Gingerbread Man & Follow up

Theme Pages learning all about SIMILES & ALLITERATIONS!

Listening to Puss & Boots & doing a follow up

Roll Plus 10 Math (roll 2 dice & add 10 to the # then write the equation)

During math this week we have been reviewing fractions, playing strategy games, base ten blocks, & we are reviewing place value.  We even learned about expanded form and standard form.

In social studies we have started to present our fairy tale banners to our peers and the plans for our first grade lemonade and cookie stand are on the way.  We also have been working really hard in our theme notebooks for this theme.
