Our Classroom

Here are some pictures of what our classroom looks like right now.  As the year goes on the students will be adding more of their work around the room.

Welcome Back!

     Welcome back to a new school year!  I am very excited for this year and all the fun things we will be doing in first grade.  We had a great first few days of school.

     The students met the Superkids already.  We talked about what each Superkid likes to do and then the students each drew a picture of themselves and wrote something that they like to do.  Make sure to ask your child about the Superkids at home.

Summer Vacation

     School is over for another year.  I hope that everyone has a great summer vacation and good luck for next school year!

     Here is a picture from the awards ceremony.

Day at the Park

     The students took a field trip to the park and had a blast running around, climbing, and sliding down the slides.  Here are a few pictures of the kids enjoying the park.

New Superkids

     The kindergarteners worked hard all year long and are now officially Superkids themselves.  Congratulations to all of our new Superkids!

Last Days of School

     The last days of school were busy but involved lots of fun activities.  In reading the students finished writing their Supernoodle stories (which turned out great).  They also completed the last book in the Superkid's Club. 

     In math the students finished up their geometry unit by making their own shape creations from foam shape stickers (they were very creative).  Students also enjoyed using the pattern blocks and pattern cards.

Busy Learning

     In Superkids the students have almost finished learning about all the letters.  They are currently working on the last three letters, X, Y, and Z.  The kids are very excited to officially become Superkids themselves at the end of this book.  They are also working hard on identifying and writing rhyming words, and sentences.  We also learned about quotations and wrote a couple quotes of our own.  Coming up the students will be writing their own story about what they would do with the Superkids if they were the Supernoodle. 

     In math the kindergarteners finished working on measurement and now are working on geometry.  So far we have learned about plane shapes (rectangles, squares, circles, triangles, and hexagons) and solid figures (cones, cylinders, spheres, and cubes).  The students sorted the shapes by how many sides they have and we looked at real objects that are cubes, spheres, cones, and cylinders.  Coming up we will be reading different books that talk about shapes and how we can make things using shapes.  They will also make their own animal or other object using only shapes.

     The second graders have also been busy learning about Mary and the rosary.  They got to make their own rosary using pipe cleaners and beads.  We also talked about Ascension Thursday and now we will be talking more about the Holy Spirit and gifts we receive from the Holy Spirit.
