Our unit has us exploring different questions centered around animals. Students have been learning about forming a complete sentence/thought. They researched alligators and wrote their sentences in a graphic organizer to verify they had all the necessary parts. @CogburnWoodsES

We love MEASUREMENT!!!! Students practiced measuring rules: end to end, no gaps, and no overlapping with non standard measure. They measured each other and discussed who was longer, shorter, etc. @CogburnWoodsES @FultonCoSchools #measuringisfun #andersonfirsties

Thank you @lexif2teach . Natalie so excited to work on this project.

I absolutely LOVE fill the hexagon. Especially since they think it's a game and they don't know they are making composite shapes. 😊😁 Helps to make the connection when we start teaching that skill. @CogburnWoodsES @ergle_angela

Loved seeing my girl become an official Girls with Pearls. She has been waiting since kindergarten to join. She told me if was everything she hoped it would be. 🥰 Thank you @CounselorGreene for a great event. @CogburnWoodsES

Friendly wagers make work more FUN! The winner got to dress the other in their team colors/apparel. Dr. Henry was such a great sport and even made me a true Tennessee lunch! Yum! RTR and I love my Cogburn fam! @CogburnWoodsES #coworkersarefun #alabamafootball

We are continuing our work from Core 95 using Seesaw during independent work time in our literacy block. Students listen to a word, finger stretch, and then write the correlating letters. @CogburnWoodsES @lisagarosi @FultonZone7 @Seesaw @95percentgroup #andersonfirsties

My firsties are gaining confidence with our Core 95 chip routine. We finger stretch, count our sounds, identify if those sounds are consonants or vowels, and then write our words! Proud educator here. @CogburnWoodsES @FultonZone7 @lisagarosi #andersonfirsties @95percentgroup

Setting expectations is the name of the game. What does the word work station look like? What materials do we need? What do we do when we finish our task? Student loved word twisting to create new words. @lisagarosi @CogburnWoodsES @FultonZone7

When you pack up to go home of COURSE you have sing the seven continents! 😎😊 This is my classroom's current anthem. @CogburnWoodsES #andersonfirsties

Students practiced using Seesaw to locate pattern words in their text. They used the highlight tool then recorded themselves for fluency practice. They loved it! @lisagarosi @FultonZone7 @CogburnWoodsES @Seesaw #andersonfirsties

Core 95 for the win! My firsties practiced hearing a sentence, counting the words, and writing the sentence. They mentioned Heggerty and how they count words just like in that exercise. 😍 @lisagarosi @FultonZone7 @CogburnWoodsES @95percentgroup

My firsties are hard at work practicing group work at independent literacy stations. Word work- sorting short a, short i, and words that do not fit those patterns. Then, writing and underlining the pattern. @lisagarosi @FultonZone7 @CogburnWoodsES #andersonfirsties

Working on making combinations of ten! Students loved manipulating and exploring. #Andersonfirsties @CogburnWoodsES @ergle_angela @FultonCoSchools
