Want to learn about the best new thing in our classroom? Read on... It all began before World Read Aloud Day. I saw on Skype in the Classroom that several authors were willing to Skype with students to celebrate the day. You plugged in your information and you got to pick up to seven authors to contact.

Place Value Boot Camp in First Grade
I just love being inspired by others. I have to credit Teacher Tipster, Brown Bag Teacher, and Tim Kaegi for inspiring me for this lesson! My student teacher and I noticed that our students were having trouble with place value. We knew we needed to re-teach it in a new way. Thankfully, I found this video on Teacher Tipster! We used the video and inspiration from a ... Read More about Place Value Boot Camp in First Grade

It was ready to go on a Monday and caught ... Read More about VIP Table

To start this school year I was just posting about one item we were working on each day. I ... Read More about First Grade Focus Wall
Global Connections
Through our class Twitter account we make countless connections. One connection we made this winter was with a class in the United Arab Emirates. The teacher and I thought how great it would be if we could get our students to connect. We usually connect through Skyping, however the time difference made that a bit difficult. ; ) So, we decided to make movies with our students to share. We decided ...
