Fire Safety Visitor

Our class was blessed with having a very special guest today.  My favorite fireman, Firefighter Mike Murphy came and taught the munchkins all about fire safety.  We were all so excited, very few pictures were taken!  :(  

The best response from them today, "Mrs. Murphy!  I learned a ton about fire safety today!"

Job well done, Mr. Murphy

My Guided Reading Groups loved working in their Reading Notebooks yesterday!  This is a great way to incorporate different comprehension skills!  I love the Interactive Reading Passages from Miss DeCarbo!!!!!

Pinterest success story!!!  What a powerful idea for my munchkins!  I love incorporating these now meaningful strategies.  My kiddos love the "FACE of a reader"!

Have a great weekend!

I haven't written anything in a long time, but here is a quick update.  I've been in First Grade now for 3 years, and I feel like I'm home.  I absolutely adore this age group. I've enjoyed diving into new teaching ideas this year, including my word work and small reading groups.

More to come.......

Much love.......

Our Special Guest!

 Mr. Murphy read Sam's Burger!

 Mr. Murphy talked about how important reading is to a firefighter! 

 Everyone was excited to see him!

He also answered questions at the end!
