100 Days Smarter!

After a fun filled day with several different types of math related activities having to do with the number 100, the children enjoyed trying to make the number 100 with their bodies.  They did a fabulous job, the only problem is I couldn't fit them all into a picture.  Here's the best we could do! 

Happy New Year!

The students in Mrs. Butler's are welcoming 2012 with their New Year's resolutions.  It's a new year and a year that they know will be filled with growth in so many areas.  We set personal goals that were related to academics as well as their personal life.   Wishing you all an exciting year ahead.

Learning about 3-D shapes has been so much fun!  The children brought in different containers that were 3-D Shapes.  Many of them decided to put their containers together to create a "thing."  They shared with the class telling about the 3-D shapes that they used.  Check out the photos page on the left to see more pictures of the "things" they created.

Our room was full of excitement when Mrs. Butler's Class was announced as the winners of the Golden Plate in First Grade for November.  We have worked hard to do our best in the lunchroom.  We knew it would take real dedication as the other first  grade classes are all pretty awesome as well.  We decided we really like it in our room and will work hard to win it AGAIN!

The children did  a fabulous job in the play today!  I was so proud of them!  Hoping you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving Break!

 

High Touch, High Tech was quite a fun experience today!  We explored with magnets, made magnets, and tested magnets.  We felt like quite the scientists today!

Check out our pictures on the Photos page on my blog for an assorment of pictures showing all the amazing activities we did with magnets.  Thank you again to our Timber Ridge Foundation for funding this fun program!

We had a grand time at our Pumpkin Olympics.  Check out all the pictures from the different relays we participated in the Photos section.  It was the grand finale to the activities we did with pumpkins and gourds in October.

 

Here it comes!

The 2011 Pumpkin Olympics will be this Monday, October 31st at 1:00 on the blacktop (where the TR Fall Festival was held). Please make sure your student wears our class t-shirt we hope you will be able to come and cheer from our parent cheering section as we race, dodge, and pass pumpkins! Bring a camp chair and your camera because you won't want to miss the chance to capture these memories! 

Wow!  What an amazing time we had today at the Teacher of the Year Pep Rally!!  My students were so awesome!   They were the best cheerleaders as they waved banners and wore their crowns with my picture on the front. (Thanks Mrs. Hill.)  They cheered so loudly as I was recognized as the Timber Ridge Teacher of the Year.  They sure did make  me feel extra special today!!  Click on the photos button on the left to see more pictures of the events of the day! 

Fall is here and with that brings cooler weather. Just a reminder parents, to label their sweaters/jackets, & sweatshirts. Fall also brings conference week. I look forward to meeting with each of you to discuss the progress your child is making. Remember that it is early release that week and we will also be holding the the Book Fair that week as well.

Halloween will be here before we know it. Remember you are all invited to our Annual Pumpkin Olympics which are a combination of relays and partner events with our mini pumpkins. It will be held on Oct. 31st from 1- 1:45 on the blacktop. Hope you can make it!
