About Me

My photo
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 :)

Literacy Week Fun!

What a busy busy week!! We celebrated Literacy Week here at school and there were lots of activities going on! We had celebrity readers, story tellers and a school wide sleepover! I enjoyed having one of our parents read to the class and they did too!




In addition to all the fun activities that were planned we somehow managed to squeeze in some fun lessons! :)

Like using Scholastic Book orders to cut and sort fiction and non fiction books....  



We read the story Me on the Map from our textbooks, and created a cool diagram to represent where we live!



As we talked about shapes in math I got out the old geoboards and the kids loved making shapes with the rubber bands!



Make sure to check back next week because Monday is the 100th Day of school so you know we'll be having some fun with that!
