Fun in First Grade!

First graders are really starting to master the routines of our classroom! We have started the "Read to Self" part of our Daily 5 literacy time. Every student has a book bag with "Good Fit" books inside. These books are at their level and are practiced each day. During other times of the day, students are free to read any book in the classroom. Tomorrow we will open up our classroom library! We have a lot of great readers in our class!



















We have also started our daily math stations. Each day I teach a lesson to the entire class, and then we split up into different stations. There is a "Meet with Teacher" station where I usually do a workbook page with students. "All by Myself" is a station with an activity that students have practiced many times and are able to do independently. "Technology" is when students use iPads or computers to practice math games, and "Hands On" is a station where students get to physically manipulate math tools. Look at what the students did today! I introduced math journals to the students and they LOVED them! Many students asked if they could complete more workbook pages than the one that we did together!


 Other groups had the opportunity to use math tools, such as pattern block templates, pattern blocks, or unifix cubes!



 Check out the teamwork!
