Happy 50+ Days of School!

50th Day of School· FREEBIE

Wednesday was our official 50th Day of school, but since it was also our Parent-Teacher Conference Day, we’re celebrating Thursday instead!

To tell you the truth, I really can’t believe that it’s been 50+ days already, since it feels like we got back from summer break just yesterday!

In the short amount of time that I have had with my students, I am so proud of the progress that they have made so far!  From the little jumps to the BIG jumps, they have worked so hard and put out so much effort into their own learning.  I feel even prouder when I hear it from their parents.

First grade now has definitely changed so much from it used to be when I was in first grade!  I remember that everyday after recess in first grade, I got to either watch Reading Rainbow or take a nap. Those were definitely the days…..And yes, first grade has definitely changed throughout the years, but I am blown away everyday by students’ abilities and capabilities!

To celebrate the wonderful teachers and staff at my school for 50+ days of teaching and learning, a friend of mine and I as part of the Sunshine (Social) Committee on campus transformed the teacher’s lounge to a 50’s lounge!  In addition, we are treating the teachers and staff to coke floats ALL DAY!  So excited!!!

I am treating you to a 50th Day Freebie for your classroom as well!  Students draw a sight word of a basket and then records it onto their sheet. Feel free to click to the picture below to download the file! If you would like to download the Sight Word Flashcards, click on the link below!

Sight Word Flashcards- First Grade

May you be in your 50+ day of school or more….I hope you are celebrating your students’ accomplishments and all the hard work that you put in them each and everyday!  🙂

This activity right here is one of my favorite act This activity right here is one of my favorite activities for the beginning of the year! 🌟

I make a BIG speech bubble out of black butcher paper and cut out yellow circles for Emojis. ☺️😀😍🥳🤩😟😫

As one of the things on our class Scavenger Hunt during Meet-the-Teacher Night, the kids are asked to take one of the yellow circles and draw the face of an emoji that best describes how they feel about being a first grader. 

This activity is so simple and fun but gives me such information on how the kids are all feeling even before the first day of school!

Using this simple tool, I am able to address any anxiety or stress that they may have during our FIRST Morning Meeting! It’s so powerful to know even before school begins what I need to do to help ease them into first grade! 💕 

We also use the data collected for a graphing activity and then discuss what we can do to help make everyone feel happy and better. 

I love this activity and will definitely be doing this again this year! Swipe to see the before picture.
