subtraction.

We're knee deep in subtraction and everyone is doing such a great job!

We had some fun centers earlier this week that included Math-o-Lantern Subtraction and Buggy Subtraction :)

 Each jack-o-lantern had a number 0-10 on the back. The popsicle sticks had subtraction facts on them with no answer.  Students had to figure out the difference and place the stick in the correct pumpkin.  Then, students wrote their subtraction sentences on a paper pumpkin. They had lots of fun!

Buggy Subtraction used beads as "bugs" to help make their own subtraction sentences.  Students then wrote their subtraction sentences on their dry erase boards and had lots of fun!

I'm so proud of everyone and all of their great work in our subtraction chapter!

Thank you Donors Choose!

Over the summer, I posted a project for a classroom rug on to Donors Choose.

Much to my surprise, the project was funded within a week of posting!

Our new rug makes our classroom bright and cheery and is used for seating during phonics, calendar math, centers, and so much more!

We love our new rug! Thanks for all the generous donations!

First Day of School!

We welcomed 18 new friends to our first grade class!

field trip!

Our class took a field trip to the Jacksonville Zoo and had a GREAT time!

Thanks so much to all the parents who came along to experience our "wild" field trip to the zoo!

Coin poems!

I hope everyone is enjoying their extra LONG weekend!

Over the break, you may want to practice counting your coins and use these poems to help...

Penny, penny

easily spent

Copper brown

and worth 1 cent!

Nickel, nickel

thick and fat,

you’re worth 5 cents

I know that!

Dime, dime

little and thin

Has two dots

and is worth 10!

Quarter, quarter

big and bold,

you’re worth 25

so I’m told!

Good Luck 5th Grade!

Our 5th graders at TCE took a writing test today so we had a writing parade yesterday to cheer them on and wish them luck!

We made signs to hold during the parade...

Way go 5th grade! We know you did a great job!

I wish...

March is the month of good luck and wishes!

To gear up for St. Patrick's Day, we wrote what we wished for...

We wished to be famous, cowboys, princesses and to have new cars and motorcycles!

My wish for my class is that we can all have fun while mastering our standards!

Freedom Walk.

We had a fun filled afternoon at TCE with our Freedom Walk that celebrated the accomplishments of African Americans in our history!

We had a county commissioner, a police man, and soldiers from Hinesville and Fort Stewart come to be a part of our Freedom Walk.


Thanks to all who helped in our freedom for America!
