My Favorite! 
!!!Technology!!!!

This week we are using A LOT of technology. 
For morning work: Splashmath.com and take a daily Timed Test on the app called, Timed Test FREE
Whole Group Math: Splashmath.com
Small Group Math: I am re-teaching in small group skills students did not do well with from their last benchmark assessment. Then I am using Splashmath.com to reassess on our iPads.

Reading Fluency App
Students can read texts at their own level. It is timed and then students can take comprehension questions.

One of my all time favorites, Hungry Howie Phonics Apps
There are several different skills you can get! (word families, building words and rhyming words, long and short vowels).


1st Grade Phonics App


Happy Easter from my classroom to yours. 
I responded to a followers request to allow Flat Stanley come to my classroom. 
My students are going to have so much fun writing about their week and sharing with this class.  This is such a great way to teach writing to a real audience.


Birthday Treats & Easter
So this week I celebrated my birthday! 
Did you know you can get a FREE drink from Starbucks on your birthday? 
I figured that most people already knew about this. Well, if you didn't know...now you do. All you have to do is sign up with an account and become a GREEN or GOLD member by making purchases throughout the year. I also received so many flowers this year of my birthday. It was so nice to get treats like that.

Sooooooo Pretty! 


So lastly, we celebrated Easter with a fun Easter Egg Hunt. I made these cute little baskets for my Firsties and gave them a great surprise inside little eggs.


My daughter, Adrianna
XOXOXO

We saw the Easter Bunny at the Mall! 

I hope you have a fun Easter!

Spring Is In The Air!

Spring Is In The Air! 



What a great way to ring in the spring season while integrating science, technology, reading, writing, and collaboration. This interactive brochure gives students a fun and interactive way to engage with non-fiction text. You can find this in my TPT store by clicking on this link: 


Do you want to bring some creativity into your classroom?
This is a fun way to do just that. 
Students will learn about the ant life cycle, read non-fiction text, and learn how to use non-fiction text features. This little creativity can be purchased in my TPT store: 


I was asked to contribute to a bundle deal that raises money for Autism Awareness so of course I accepted. If you want to purchase this bundle deal, I have included my Pet Rabbit Interactive Brochure to this cause.
You can donate here: 



Another great way to teach life cycles and non-fiction text features! 
This time it is BEE themed.

Easter and Spring Crafts

So I am trying to plan some fun activities for Easter and Spring.

I have been collecting milk jugs and toilet paper rolls. 

This is what I have in mind.



Then I am going to let the kids make butterfly wings out of coffee filters and markers.

For the milk jugs, I am trying to make an Easter basket for each of my kiddos. 
It will look something like this...
