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!
