The School Year is Over!

I can't believe our year is through! Our class had a FABULOUS year, and I am so proud of all the progress we made! All of them will be wonderful first graders!!!!! I'll miss them terribly!!!!

As the year winds down...

As this school year comes to a close, I realize how much I am going to miss my students! This class has been such a joy! They are a well behaved, bright, and wonderful group!! We have gone to Children's Theater, Josie's Place farm, and McWane Science Center. We have counted by two's and tied our shoes! We have learned the difference between cumulus clouds and cirrus clouds and ever got to be on TV with a meteorologist! We have truly began a journey of loving to learn, and I hope this is a journey none of students end any time soon!!!! All of them will be successful first graders, and I will miss them all!!!!

Aren't we a nice looking group?

Hueytown Elementary recently participated in Baskets for Books at a UAB basketball game! Books a Million gave lots of money to the participating schools, with over $5000 going to the winning school--US! Individual classrooms as well as our school library will be getting new books soon thanks to Books a Million!!!

Our First Blog! Let's talk about adding and subtracting!

In Kindergarten we are learning about addition and subtraction. As we learn how to add and subtract, it is also important to know WHY we need to learn these things. Please comment stating some ways you and your family use addition and subtraction on a daily basis. For example, I used addition today when I went to the store. I added up my dimes and nickels to see if I had enough money to buy a Coke Zero! How ave you used addition/subtraction today?
