Starfish Days

Here are some pictures to preview our first few days in the Starfish classroom.  We have been working on learning 1st grade classroom routines and getting to know our new friends.  Enjoy!







Recess Fun!



 Learning to be partners- Playing Back to School Bump
First Day of School Jitters
1st Grade Centers- Decorating Birthday Crowns and Exploring Math Manipulatives







Together we make a wonderful group!

Monarch Caterpillars

We are looking for Monarch Caterpillars. If you happen to see any please send them our way. Observing their metamorphosis will be a great way to kick off becoming scientists in first grade! 

Thanks for your help!

Important hints: These caterpillars have black, white, and yellow stripes. They will be only found on milkweed plants.

Welcome to the Starfish Class!

Greetings New Starfish Families!

Welcome to our classroom blog. I can't wait to fill it with pictures and stories from the amazing year we will have together! We had a wonderful first week of school! I can't stop smiling thinking about all the fun we had getting to know one another.

I'm excited to share many pictures we took this week to document our first few days together.  I can't wait to post these pictures on the blog. I will post soon once I receive permission from all families. :) 

Here are some questions to help promote a home-school connection with your child:

1. Who sits next to you at your table?
2. Can you tell me how you play four corners?
3. What is a bucket filler? What's one way you were a bucket filler this week?
4. Can you tell me about the story Chysathiemum by Kevin Henkes? 
5. What did you start making in Art Class?
6. Can you tell me something you learned about one of your classmates?
7. What was your favorite snack you had at school this week?
8. Can you tell me about morning meeting? 
9. Where did you go on the Pete the Cat scavenger hunt?
10.  What is quiet time?  When do you have quiet time during the day?
11. What math games did you play this week?  How do you play Back to School Bump?
12. What is Last Starfish Standing


Have a great weekend!
