Happy Thanksgiving from the sweetest bunch of 1st grade turkeys! @BigTreeElem

@KateDiCamillo - our 1st grade class from Hamburg, NY (@BigTreeElem ) just finished the Mercy Watson box set and celebrated with a "hot, buttered toast" snack!

Representing Big Tree 1st grade at the Falcon 5k!

We kicked off our science unit (animals and offspring) with a few fluffy visitors in 1st grade @BigTreeElem. It was such a fun morning!

This egg has really improved effort and focus during i-ready lessons/practice this past week. When students master a lesson, they color a "piece". If we can fill the egg, everyone gets a candy peep (their prize choice by vote).

We're ready to add 3 numbers (by making a 10 first)! First, we warmed up our math brains with an egg hunt to match pairs that make 10!

We ended Read Across America/Dr Seuss week with a "green eggs and ham" pj breakfast!

I have a student who was getting really nervous/upset during our fact fluency "quizzes". A friend who sits in front of her made her this to read to herself a few weeks ago. She takes it out of her pencil box every.single.time and puts it on her desk. 🥰

My 1st graders got to preview Beauty & the Beast at the high school today. They were SO excited to see my Justin on stage and asked if we could go again tomorrow...it's *that* good.

SO much hard work went into our nonfiction writing project. Today we went outside and moved like real penguins in the snow. Watch us waddle and toboggan (slide on our bellies)!

We love our new playground in ALL weather! @BigTreeElem

@NWSBUFFALO My 11 year old son snapped this picture for measurement. Snow in Blasdell is about "neck high on a buck" 🤣. @news4buffalo @WGRZweather

More people are waking up to more snow this morning. What are your latest storm totals? Please send us your location and a picture of your measurement!

1st graders have been studying sky patterns. Today we investigated what causes the sun to set. @BigTreeElem @SossongBrady

Spooky witch fingers from the #Target dollar spot make reading even more fun! @BigTreeElem

Friday's weather was so beautiful we decided to head outside for our math lesson. @BigTreeElem

@BigTreeElem 1st grade Falcons meeting a *real* falcon! Thank you @hawkcreekwc!

Field Day 2022 @BigTreeElem! Our faces hurt from smiling so much today! They really have become a little family this year 😍

We had math in our STEAM lab at @BigTreeElem. 1st graders have been learning measurement and today we started exploring "weight".

Phew! We made sure that our bunny offspring were safe from coyotes using what we learned about camouflage in science.

We were "egg'd"! Thank you @BigTreeElem student council and Mrs. Turner!
