After weeks of working hard, nothing beats the moment when you finally get “that really hard problem” right on your first attempt.

We are loving working with our double ten frames to find sums greater than 20!

First grade is loving our introduction to the changing seasons and learning all about the science cycle!

Thank you so much for everything you’ve done for our kiddos, Mrs. Thomas! Good luck at your new school. We will miss you @WatwoodElem 💙

Our focus question in the unit is what makes a good friend? These future authors did amazing in writing center writing how they can be a good friend.

Today’s adventure: math fluency games! 1-How many am I hiding (w/ 10 blocks). They had to use their tools & explain why they thought the amount was behind their buddy’s back. 2-Knock out! Roll the dice, erase the sum, & try to knock all your numbers out.

100 iReady 100s call for sunshine and popsicles with friends!

With the right tools missing addends are no big deal! #TheWatwoodWay

What makes @WatwoodElem special? The amount of love & support that fills these halls. On Wednesday, 2nd grade came to cheer us on before our Dibels assessments. Today, 1st grade was so excited to surprise them w/ encouraging posters & cheers before they began their assessments!

Who knew using shapes to make shapes could be so much fun!! @WatwoodElem

Friends celebrating friends. After weeks of hard work he finally hit his goal. He went running to tell his friends who did not miss the moment. They dropped what they were doing and celebrated his victory! @WatwoodElem

What is our favorite part of the morning? Word of the the day! Splitting and then reading 2 syllable words are too much fun. @WatwoodElem

You know it was a great Celebration Assembly when you do the griddy all the way back to class. These kids set some really high goals last nine weeks and worked really hard to achieve them. Such a fun day celebrating all they have done and all that is to come! @WatwoodElem

Such a great moment when “I can’t do this” turns into crushing it at our “slow blends” blending time. The transition from sounding out to a slow blend is a tough one but is so much fun when it finally clicks! @WatwoodElem

Splitting 2 syllable words isn’t that scary when you have so many friends there help and support you!

Who knew syllabication could be so fun?? This center is definitely a new favorite. Not only are we learning how to attack challenging words, but also how persevere, collaborate, and communicate!

We are going *GLAZY* about all the goals we have achieved this 9 weeks! *DONUT* worry we have even bigger goals that we are going to crush in our final 9 weeks!! @WatwoodElem

We have loved every part of Dr. Seuss week! From Cat in the Hat visiting to listening to and reading some of our favorite books, this week has been great.

Just your average day in first grade math, building numbers and losing teeth! @WatwoodElem

Snack + a surprise 2nd grade reader = a great end to the day! @WatwoodElem
