Daily Schedule Questions...

by Hurley

Apr 26, 2013

I was hoping to get some ideas for how you structure your first grade daily schedule. I'm moving from 3rd grade to 1st grade and would love some ideas. Any other hints or tips would be appreciated too! Thanks.

Pennie Welcome to first grade! I have 3 twenty minute reading groups each morning while the other students work in literacy stations.(Debbie Diller is a great resource) Then I have a 20 minute whole group reading / language lesson.

Grace What math series do you use now? How did this series effect testing scores of your students? The other ones we are looking at are Everyday Math (which is what we has 9 years ago), Saxon, and Pearson envision.

8 Winning Ways to Wrap Up the Year

by By Barbara Gruber in Teachers.Net Gazette

May 14, 2013

The end of the school year is coming up fast!!! Children and teachers are all on “the countdown” to the last day of school. During the last week of school there will be all kinds of jumping up and down, hooting and hollering, and the humming of happy tunes. And, that is coming from the teachers’ room!

During the last few weeks of sc...See More

students touching inappropriately

by elaine

May 14, 2013

I'm so upset...two male first graders touched a female first grader during lunch. They actually lifted up her skirt..and touched! All the parents were called and are meeting with AP. Where would children even get such ideas? It is so disturbing. Any thoughts?

Block Buster (Fun little fact family game)

by Drake

May 17, 2013

Here's a fun little game from the site Brian shared I thought I'd point out. There are these blocks that fall down (sort of like Tetris, but without the crazy shapes) and the only way to get rid of the stacking blocks is to click on a set of 3 that form a fact family). The teaching of fact families goes a long way when my class struggles with subtr...See More

Bad Apples (cute word game)

by Neal G.

May 22, 2013

Not sure if this will work for 1st grade, but my 2nd graders love it. Just click on letters to form a word, any letters left over (after all your turns) turn into bad apples.
