Where is Spring????

It has been a busy time in First Grade and my classroom said good bye to our fabulous student teacher, Mrs. Gleason this week. I am not sure who is going to miss her more ......Me or the students?? :0(
She did a great job and will be a very successful teacher and be an asset to any school district.

But while I had some extra time I was able to search and develop some really neat ideas for my first graders. I am inspired everyday by Katie King and her Queen Of The First Grade Jungle Blog! I love her Techy Tuesday Link Party and get so many great ideas for my tech savoy classroom. Please check out her latest tech idea of QR Codes in the classroom. I literally made a short vowel rhyming center in 15 minutes tech style.

And a side note the covers are here for my classroom ipads and hopefully will get the rest of the details ironed out very soon so I can get these great devices in the hands of my patiently waiting first graders.

They have been still doing an amazing job sharing the one ipad we have in our classroom currently. They were yearbook photographers this week as they went around they school with the ipad capturing candid shots of students and staff.
They LOVED it !!!!
