Last week I had the chance to spend the morning in a 1st grade classroom at JRU. Ms. Manila welcomed me in to spend time with her 37 student -- what a fun time! While I was there, I observed the students working on their handwriting. After that, their teacher read them a story that she displayed in front of the class using a projector. The students loved it! It was "Little Blue and Little Yellow" by Leo Lionni. Have you read that book before, 1st graders? Students then had a snack in the classroom. When they were done, they helped clean up. They were very responsible! The students sang different songs throughout the morning. They love to get out of their seats and dance along to the music! After watching Ms. Manila teach for a while, she let me do some teaching! I did a lesson on the 5 senses. We sang a song and talked about each of the senses. After that, I told them all about my wonderful 1st graders. They were so excited to learn about them! Since I'd had my students write letters and draw pictures before I left on my trip, I shared them with the JRU 1st graders. They loved reading what my students had written and enjoyed looking at the pictures they had drawn. They were so excited to learn that I wanted them to write back to my 1st graders! I passed out papers and they got right to work! I can't wait to bring them back to my students!
