Johnny Appleseed Day

Johnny Appleseed Day

We had a great day celebrating Johnny Appleseed's birthday.  Thank you for sending the apples for our applesauce.  Thank you to Mrs. Byrd and Mrs. Wells for helping us prepare our applesauce.  The day was full of apple stories, facts, writing, math, learning centers, and tasting.  As I was listening to the students interacting I couldn't help but smile.  They were learning so much by simply working with one another.  It was a great day at the Friendly Frog Pad!

First grade is such a wonderful place.  I absolutely love spending each day with these precious children!!  We are having a great time and learning so much in first grade.   The month of August has been busy, fun, and rewarding.  The students have been busy learning reading skills, adding and subtracting, playing math games, and sharing stories they have written.  Sarah Beth brought an awesome bird's nest to share and Jaycie brought our first Estimation Jar with 101 kisses!!!  We had a blast counting and estimating.  I hope that you enjoy an inside look at what's going on in First Grade!

First Day 2014-2015

Hats off to these brand new firsties!  We had a fabulous day in First Grade.  I am looking forward to a fabulous year with this group.  They are a blessing!

Biscuits Game

Biscuits Game

We had a great time at the Biscuits game.  A big thanks to the parent drivers.  The students enjoyed dancing with Big Mo and eating lunch at the game.  What a fabulous end to our baseball unit.

Dinosaur Week

We had a great week learning about dinosaurs.  We read Nate the Great and the Lost Stamp.

Then, we searched for dinosaur bones, made Dinosaur Chow, and learned amazing sizes of dinosaurs.  Students were excited each day to share what they learned.

I love to see the children picking up a book to read.  My heart fills with joy to see these students develop the love and joy of reading.  I thought you might enjoy these cute snap shots as much as I did.  Happy reading first grade!!

Angel Choir

What a blessing the Angel Choir has been this year.  The Angel Choir sang at the Holiday Market,  Cancer Center, Trinity Church, and Spring Concert.  These sweet angels are a blessing to anyone who hears them.  

Tah-Tah Day

Exciting things are going on at the Friendly Frog Pad.  We enjoyed celebrating the book

 Ira Sleeps Over with Tah-Tah Day.  Students brought their Tah-Tahs to school and wore pajamas.  The day's activities included a Tah-Tah parade, writing Tah-Tah stories, and eating popcorn with our Tah-Tahs.
