Our 5th Annual - First Grade Writer's Showcase was yet another HUGE success!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Let's face it - that last month of school is torture for everyone - right!?!?!? I mean, not only are the kiddos done, but the teachers are smooth worn-out! For the last 5 years we have tried to battle the "last month of school blues" with a research and writing project. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have 7 first grade classrooms (we added a 7th this year) and each class takes on a different group of animals. </div>

I wrote 5 out of the 6 original animal groups. One of my team members wrote the Farm Animal set that we use so that is not pictured. Since we added a 7th teacher this year I had to write a whole new set so I went with Backyard Bugs:</div>

Isn't that adorable? My classroom has always done the Woodland Animals but I must say, it was really hard not to switch to these backyard bugs. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
We take about a full month to spend on our research. We check out as many books as possible from our school library and many of us hit up our public library too. We group the books together for each animal.</div>

I place the books that have information over multiple animals on a separate table that they can look through to find their animal. This gives way to a lot of rich discussions about non-fiction text features - mainly "table of contents" and "index". </div>

I give my students a couple of days to browse through the animal books so they can narrow down which animal they'd like to research. I give them a 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice of animals but I don't always guarantee that they get their choices. I make sure that every animal is being researched by at least one or two children so that all animals are accounted for and the groups that are working together are small.</div>

Here are some pictures of my classroom and how we transformed our room into a forest. We also get our parents involved with an "at home" art project to go along with their research. We specifically don't give them much information because we love all the different ideas that they come up with. The are all very unique! </div>

We have our parents and families come and tour each classroom during the evening. It is so fun to watch the children showing off their research books to their parents. They are always so proud of how hard they worked and are so eager to share it with others!</div>

Along with our study of rocks and reading the story "Mr. Bones, Dinosaur Hunter", we had fun "excavating" some dinosaur bones of our own. I passed out 2 Chips Ahoy cookies and 2 toothpicks to the kiddos. They had to gently "excavate" the bones (chips) from all the sand, rock and dirt (cookie). They were precious to watch! I don't think they realized how hard this was going to be. Just look at this concentration. :) </div>

Our story in our reader last week was "Mr. Bones, Dinosaur Hunter" by Jane Kurtz. I usually to a study on rocks along with this story. Here is a picture of our research and writing center:</div>

I used to call this the "discovery center" but have recently changed it to the "Research and Writing Center". We always talk about how Scientists are constantly researching and observing things and then they write down their findings and keep journals. Last year I started adding recording sheets (sometimes cutesy and sometimes just lined paper) so they can record their observations. My firsties seem to enjoy writing about what they see and this just adds to our writing during the day - it's a win-win! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Later that week I asked for the students to bring a small rock to school. I glued googly eyes on them and we wrote about their rocks. We also "adopted" them as pet rocks. I don't know about you, but these rocks seem to come to life when you add eyes - lol! My firsties always love this activity and they take their job as a "parent" very seriously!!!</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, we're finishing up our 4th week of school. The time has already flown by! I really do have a GREAT group of firsties this year and cannot complain. We're finishing up our Kindergarten review and will jump in to our first grade stories and curriculum next week. I'm so excited to dive in to our core curriculum. </div>

This last summer we had <a href="http://www.tunstallsteachingtidbits.com/" target="_blank">Reagan Tunstall</a> come and do a workshop on her <a href="http://www.tunstallsteachingtidbits.com/2016/05/guided-math-k-1-2.html" target="_blank">Guided Math</a>. Our first grade team absolutely fell in love with her program and we have been doing it since day one. We're finishing unit 1 tomorrow and will begin unit 2 on Monday. My firsties have really enjoyed all the hands on activities! Here's a few pics of our centers in our room. We just started to do some rotations to practice rules and procedures so we haven't really gotten into the whole swing of things yet. </div>

We read "Mister Bones - Dinosaur Hunter" last week so we decided to do some excavations! We used chips ahoy cookies and the kiddos had to use toothpicks to try and get the "bones" out of the cookie without breaking them. They LOVED this! It was super fun watching them do it too. Most of them took this very seriously and tried their hardest. </div>

I have a student teacher this semester - Mrs. Franklin (Who is WONDERFUL by the way!). She decided to let our firsties make some dinosaur fossils to go along with our story as well. These turned out great!<br />

We have a TON of things going on! Plants, rocks, dinosaurs, and butterflies just to name a few. I always give my firsties a choice of which seeds they want to plant. We put them in a baggie with a wet paper towel and tape them in the window so we can watch the roots come out. We then took them out, planted them in pots and we now have them outside the classroom lining the wall. We plan on taking care of them, watching them grow, writing about them in our journals periodically and then they will become their Mother's Day presents.</div>

We now have a 15 year old and 2 eleven year olds. The youngest 2 are only 8 months apart. It's definitely been an HUGE adjustment juggling 3 children now but we're getting the hang of it.</div>

I'm hoping to post more about things going on in the classroom soon. I LOVE springtime in the classroom. Stay tuned!</div>

I LOVE this time of year. Fall is by far my FAVORITE season. I don't get into Halloween too much but I enjoy learning about spiders and bats. We worked on spiders last week and are learning about bats this week. Most of the pics I have for you are what we did with spiders but most of these activities will be done again using bats.</div>

Ok - so I think this was the busiest summer I have EVER had!!!!! I don't think we slowed down until the week before school started! We've added a new little girl to our family and she has been with us since April. The new "dynamics" of our family has changed quite a bit and we took this summer to focus on family! We are starting the adoption process very soon and I think we are finally in our "new normal". :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have 2 days under our belt! Phewwwwww! I'm ready for tomorrow and ready for a whole full week of learning with my new firsties. They are ADORABLE!!!!</div>

Hey there!!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's been a LONG time. I've been enjoying summer and time with my family. I've been around and working on new things for my classroom next year but haven't had the "umph" to blog about anything. Ever been there? Anyhoo - I've been seeing everyone joining the <a href="http://sparklinginsecondgrade.blogspot.com/2015/06/tpt-seller-challenge.html" target="_blank">TPT Seller Challenge</a> and I thought - "Why Not?" Maybe that will help me get out of my slump!</div>

Ok - so I fully intended on blogging about our Research and Writing Projects along the way these last 4 weeks. We have been so crazy busy that I couldn't even hardly check my emails, much less keep up with this lil' ole blog. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We just had our 3rd Annual - First Grade Writer's Showcase. It was a huge success and we had such a fun time getting to see our students and their parents.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've created 5 different animal research and writing project units. We have 6 first grade teachers and each teacher researches a different animal group. We have <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Woodland-Animals-Shared-Research-and-Writing-Project-584819" target="_blank">Woodland</a>, <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Rainforest-Animals-Shared-Research-and-Writing-Project-1204598" target="_blank">Rain forest</a>, <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Safari-Animals-Shared-Research-and-Writing-Project-603066" target="_blank">Safari</a>, <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Ocean-Animals-Shared-Research-and-Writing-Project-1157337" target="_blank">Ocean</a>, <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Polar-Animals-Shared-Research-and-Writing-Project-1020076" target="_blank">Polar </a>and Farm units. (you can click into each animal set to take a closer look) Each teacher spends about 4 weeks on these projects. We ask our students and parents to create an art project at home to go along with them. </div>

We totally transformed our classroom into a forest! We spent 4 weeks reading, studying and researching our woodland animals. I get very excited every year when we get these started. My firsties do an amazing job every year. I'm always blown away by how much they truly do enjoy all the hard work they put forth. Their books end up being about 15-20 pages long!</div>

Ok - you all know we are in the BUSIEST time of the year - right?!?!?!? We have a ton of different things going on in our classroom right now. Here are just a few:</div>

We read "Mister Bones - Dinosaur Hunter" in our Reading series this week.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was such an awesome idea from one of my coworkers to go along with this story. My firsties absolutely LOVED this activity. They worked so hard and took their time trying to excavate the bones (chocolate chips) from the rock and dirt (cookie).</div>

Since we were talking about dinosaurs, excavating and dirt, we decided to adopt a pet rock!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh my goodness! It was so fun to watch them paint their rocks. They could not wait to take them home! The <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Rock-Investigations-Graphic-Organizers-Freebie-681045" target="_blank">Pet Rock Adoption</a> idea came from <a href="http://www.firstclassteacher.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">First Class Teacher Resources</a>.</div>

We did this cute take on "squiggle writing" last week. (I can't remember where I saw this idea so I can credit them.) Aren't these adorable!?!?!?!? My student teacher glued 2 sets of googly eyes on a white sheet of paper. We handed them out to my firsties and they had to make 2 characters out of them. Next they had to draw a setting behind them. Then they had to write a story about them with a beginning, middle and end. Their stories were great!</div>

Writing Center:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I always take all the books and activities we learn in one week and put them in a center for the week. This gives them the opportunity to research and discover facts on their own. Then they have to write about some things they learned and we turn them into a class book.</div>

Oh my goodness you guys! Our State Superintendent, Joy Hofmeister, visited my classroom today. We knew that she was coming to our district and was going to try to visit as many campuses as she could. We found out this morning that our campus was definitely on her list. This afternoon we were in our classroom getting ready to pack up and head to pull-outs. I look up from my table and there she is! She came in my classroom and introduced herself to me and I fully expected her to walk out and go about meeting everyone else. Instead, she walked over and started listening to one of my firsties read. She listened to him for quite awhile and then came back and bragged on how well he read. I was so impressed with her! (And definitely proud of my little firstie!) I felt like the president was in my classroom. :) Very cool experience!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a student teacher this semester. I've never had one before. I've always wanted to have one because I love sharing my ideas and love helping other teachers. The thought of having one take over my class though has always made me a little worried. These are still my babies and I am the one responsible for their learning and success. When I met Ms. James for the first time I absolutely fell in love. She is super sweet and so eager to jump in and learn everything! She has been with us now for a month and we LOVE her. She is doing a great job and I'm excited to see what all she does and accomplishes the rest of our semester. Here are some pictures of her working with our firsties:</div>
