BMX and Reading!!

Principal Phillips treated our first graders to a special BMX bike show for all their GREAT reading and HARD work in the third nine weeks! Our Readers To Leaders goal is to read a million words by the end of the year and we are right on track!! 

Mrs. Phillips is very brave! 😊

The bikers were very talented...

and very encouraging and friendly! 

Ms. Jackson Visits Room 128!

Ms. Jackson comes by once a month to teach our kiddos a new character trait and read fabulous books!  

This month is all about Self-Control!  Our kiddos listened as Ms. Jackson read books where the characters may not have had the most self-control but all learned a great lesson in the end!

We love Ms. Jackson so much! AND she even leaves us with a brand new book and lollipops to enjoy! 

Sprint Success!

This year, our first graders have been tackling a brand new math curriculum, Duval Math. We have seen SO much growth in our students and their number sense is off the charts! 

 We give timed fluency quizzes every two weeks and they are thriving! A large part of our students' success in terms of fluency has been through the use of fluency activities including Sprints! Our kiddos are excelling so much that a handful of students are completing the sprints with time to spare! We have begun to allow our early finishers the chance to play teacher and call out the answers! Here was today's sprint and one of our students playing teacher!
