About Me
- Ms. Bowes
- Welcome to my blog! I am blessed to be a first grade teacher at a wonderful school in Jacksonville Florida. I graduated from the University of North Florida in December of 2009 and I have been in the classroom since January 2010. I am a Pittsburgh girl at heart but I have loved spending the last 8 years of my life in Jacksonville! I enjoy spending my weekends at the beach with friends, or reading a good book at home. Last year I adopted a puppy from the Humane Society and I couldn't love her any more! She is a hound mix named Leigha. She loves to take naps while I pinterest and do school work :)

Name Graphs
Ahhh resource time (: That gives me time to give you an update about our day!
Today in skills block we talked about noticing letters in our names. As a class, we sorted everyones name by the first letter, then by the second letter, then by the upstairs letters and downstairs letters! (they came up with these ways themselves!) Then they got to work with partners to sort the names how they wanted to and put them into a graph like we did together.
Your children are SO creative! Take a look at all the different ways they thought of to sort!
"We sorted by names with N and names without N"

"We sorted by first letter, then arranged them in ABC order"
"We sorted by the number of letters in our names"
"We sorted by boys... and girls"
