My friend, Tori, is a dental hygienist, and she came and taught my class, and Jackie's class, about how to take care of your teeth. She did such a great job!
Tori showing my students how to floss their teeth by having two of my students be "teeth."
I had my students write a letter to Tori, thanking her for coming in. This one was my fave! (Notice the rock she glued onto the letter...)
Some of my students posing in their pajamas. We had a pajama Christmas party!
My students dancing with Corby the Cougar, our school mascot.
Aren't they so cute?!
My students do what I call "work stations" with a buddy, while I do reading groups. Here are some pictures of just a few of my work stations. My students love to read the Holiday joke books together at the library work station. They especially love reading to my stuffed animals in the big maroon reading chair.
Game work station-really teaches my students how to get along with others, and solve conflicts.
Overhead work station-another favorite of my students! This is where they can practice rereading poems, circling words they know, and practice their handwriting by writing word wall words, spelling words, or a story that they make up!
Buddy reading work station
Word study work station-they build word wall or spelling words using beads, magnet letters, stamps, etc.Below are pictures from the First Grade Music Program that was on my birthday this year. The whole school came, along with parents, and before the program could start, my students had to make sure that everyone sang happy birthday to me. It made my day!!
A few of my students had speaking parts in the program. Again, aren't they so cute?! It brings me pure joy to teach these young but vibrant minds. It's amazing how eager and ready they are to learn, and how quickly they catch onto concepts. So rewarding to teach them on a daily basis!
I got this picture from Facebook, one of the mom's of my students took it. So cute!

Tawna, I loved seeing your classroom! Thanks for putting these pictures up, it is so fun to get a glimpse of your 'every day'. Do you want to move down here so you can be my kids teacher? :)
You seem like an awesome teacher! maybe you could give me some tips. I'll be gone this week but next week we should play!
AH!!!! This made me miss teaching so much. What a great teacher you are. Your children adore you, you can tell, and your room is adorable. :)
I especially love the background elf. Cute pics.

I wish that you were my first grade teacher or better yet, I wish that you were MY kids teacher. How much fun your students must have.
