Hello and Goodbye

We welcome Yunique, who joins us from the state of Maine. We said goodbye to Ja'Miayahca who switched to another Volusia County school.

Saying Goodbye to Mr. Patrick

We had a Goodbye Party for Mr. Patrick, our teacher intern. Here are some pictures from that day. Mr. Patrick brought his mom in to meet us all. We asked her a lot of questions about Mr. Patrick and what he was like in First Grade. They brought pizza and cupcakes to add to our drinks and cake for the celebration. Mr. Patrick gave the children "Warheads" candy which is very, very sour. Here are their faces as they popped it in their mouths, at the same time. Our last pictures with Mr. Patrick!

Math Measurement

Here are some pictures taken from a math journal lesson on measurement.

Birthday Celebrations

Once a month, we celebrate the children's birthdays for that month. Here are some pictures of one of those birthday celebrations.

Love that Bicycle Helmet

We are always proud of our first graders who wear their bicycle helmets to school. Too often, we see children riding to school without any helmet. As we drive on our way to school, we are always checking to be sure our students are complying with the law. We wanted to include this picture of Seanna's adorable helmet.

Southern Belles

Mrs. Jacobsen and Ms. Payne like to have the children read with different expressions and voices. One of our favorite characters to use in class is Southern Belles. Ms. Payne portrays Miss Belle, our true Southern Belle. Mrs. Jacobsen is the Yankee pretending to be a Southerner named Miss Scarlett. Here is a picture of Miss Belle (Ms. Payne complete with curls).
