Here are a few pictures of my classroom. We love using technology in the room. The kids jump at a chance to be on a computer or use the promethium board. We also have started pairing up with 4th graders to read. They are our reading buddies. The kids love going to see their reading buddies! We usually do this on Friday afternoon. It's so sweet to see the older 4th graders being so kind and helpful to my 1st graders. I hope you enjoy seeing pictures of some great learning going on in Mrs. Craft's Fabulous First Grade Class!! Also, one piece of exciting news. A few weeks ago I wrote a proposal on www.donorschoose.org . It's an organization that is dedicated to helping teachers get things for their classroom that will benefit the students. I asked for two electronic readers. Yesterday, it got fully funded. So in 5 days, 10 people donated enough to pay for the 2 e-readers I requested. I'm so excited and can't wait to get them and start using them in my classroom. The kids are going to love them!!!

Here are a few pictures of some of the activities we've done in class.

Welcome to Mrs.Craft's first grade blog. This blog will be mainly for parents to be able to see pictures of what their kids are doing in class. Your child's name will never be in a post but I will take pictures of the work we're doing in class and share them with you on this blog. I hope you were able to make Open House. If not, please be sure to read the WELCOME packet that your child brings home. Please email me with any questions. Parent/Teacher communication is a vital part of your child's success!!! I look forward to working together with each of you!
