First Week 2015

Dear Parents/Guardians,

I’m sure you noticed that very little came home during our first week.  That doesn't mean that we weren’t extremely busy learning! Let me share with you what we did during our first week of school! We created a class list of rules, made a class book about rules, learned procedures, began our poetry books, did the first page in our handwriting books, we learned a math game called Monster Squeeze, started in our Math journals with number writing practice, created All About Me books, learned how to do two of our morning work choices (rainbow writing and weekend writing), reviewed 10 kindergarten sight words, made a craft that helped us to review patterns, read many books, learned lots of new songs and so much more!   

We will begin homework this week! We will start off slowly.

Homework:

Please start reading 15-20 minutes a night and study the sight words that I am sending home! I am sending home last years words so that you can review and also this year's words.  Please focus on just a few at time (about 5-10). I will start sending home my homework page next week! Spelling words won’t start for a couple more weeks.

I am still missing a few forms that were attached to the First Grade Handbook. Please return those ASAP! I can't wait to post our first day pictures and group shot!! Here is to another fantastic week in first grade!

Check out our blog and like us on Facebook!

May

We may only have a month left but we are hard at work!  The kids love our Living Things unit!  We have painted lady caterpillars in our room that we are observing. We have been working on geometry, two digit addition with base ten blocks and lots of story problems! The kids LOVE writing center and beg to go there every day! Please keep reading and studying math facts at home!  

Voki example

Here is an example of a VOKI! The kids had to write what they like to do when it is warm out and why. Then, they had to type it into VOKI and create the VOKI avatar. They loved sharing their creations with the class. We are going to extend this activity tomorrow! I posted a few more examples on my Twitter feed @seegertsclass

My student just made a new Voki. See it here!

VOKI

Today, in the Computer Lab...

We are making a VOKI!

Students click below and listen for directions.

Make a VOKI at home by going to voki.com

Voki is a great way to practice manipulating the mouse, typing skills and editing on the computer. It's fun, creative and engaging for students. 

 

delay

I've been having trouble with my phone and unable to get pictures off of it.  It looks like I finally have it working and so I have A LOT of pics to add soon!!! Sorry for the delay in updating! -Mrs. Seegert

Videos!

 I thought that I would share some of the videos we have been using in class lately! The kids love them and it helps them to remember the concepts!

 

 

The kids love these songs about silent e!

 I warn you...this one is catchy! 

Count by 2s!

 

We love this song that uses base ten blocks!

This is our newest Body Break song!
