My first grade students love to learn! Every morning they walk into our classroom with a big smile. They love to read, to be read to, play math games, work on coding and write stories. They are curious and inquisitive children, and they challenge me every day to grow with them and be the best I can be.
We work hard to create a classroom community where students can explore, wonder, and discover the world around them.
We ask questions, share our ideas, expand our learning environment using technology, and publish our work to share with the world. They work and collaborate with one another to learn.
Our school also focuses on character building. Children's kindness and compassion are recognized and celebrated. We are proud to be a part of an amazing school. We are family. We learn, play, laugh and grow together!
My Project
One of the first grade reading goals is to learn how to read all 220 Dolch Sight Words. Knowing as many sight words help young learners with reading and comprehension. However, it is a challenging task for many.
Snap Words were created for right-brained, kinesthetic, visual or tactile learners.
Its unique approach to learning sight words has helped many children with learning sight words and reading. I would love to incorporate Snap Words mini lessons into my daily routine to support every type of learner in my classroom. Learning sight words will be as easy as snapping fingers with Snap Words!
