The First Grade Team sent a supply list home with the report cards.  If you have lost it, this is the list we sent home.

Each student will need a composition notebook.  If you'd like to donate glue sticks, markers, Expo markers, crayons, Clorox Wipes, or tissues it would be greatly appreciated!!  These supplies don't last long in first grade.

I'll see all of you soon!!

Working Around My Room

Summer school is being held in my classroom and it doesn't wrap up until August 16th.  OhHhh, and if you know me and my personality I'm getting antsy!!  I like to have things in place and ready by the time August swings around so I can relax a bit.  I've been trying to work around my room but have found the most I can do is photocopy.

Today, I switched out my borders and decided to do a double border.  I love the bright colors but now I'm thinking a black background might look better than the blue!  You can also see my first attempt at curtains.

Here's a pic of the writing center.  I spray painted my plastic storage containers with green paint so they'd match.

Last but not least...here are the writing posters I made.  I'll use these posters when I introduce each form of writing.  I'm still trying to wrap my brain around how my Writer's Workshop will look now with the Common Core.

I'll add more pics as my room comes together!

Artsy Fartsy...Who Came Up With that Saying?

I LOVE having time to paint and be crafty!  Here are a few small paintings I'll be adding outside my room.

I have to do some touching up but I think they're quite cute!

I'll be taking more pictures of posters I've made this week but I left my camera at home when I dropped them off at school.

Plus...I made new curtains for my room!!  My grandmother gave me a sewing lesson and it was quite comical.  I think we could've been on a tv show.  We were laughing the entire time and of course she continued to make sure I had a straight line.

To be continued...
