Caught being kind..

I love 'catching' my students being kind to one another when they're unaware that someone is watching!  


Dot to dots going all the way to 100 can be a little tricky..  Here, one of my students is helping the other when he gets stuck and is unsure of what number comes next!

One part + another part = ....

We have been working hard on learning an reviewing all kinds of addition problems.  The students have become very good at recognizing the need to add two parts together in order to get the "whole!"  We have also been talking about the different names we can use for the "whole" (ie. total, in all, or sum).




The students love being able to work/collaborate with partners!


Kindness Buddies

This year, school wide, we are really focussing on kindness.  Each classroom has partnered up with another classroom in the school to be 'kindness buddies' with.  We are partnered with Mrs. Timmons 5th grade class, and we were pleasantly surprised when they dropped off a sweet treat, along with some encouraging words for the new school year!





Thank you to our sweet friends in Mrs. Timmons' class.  This gesture surely put a big smile on a certain group of 1st graders!
