Giving this a try...

I am new to the blogging world and am attempting to create my own blog. For the past few weeks I have been blog hopping around to some amazing teaching blogs and wanted to try creating my own. So here's the scoop...I am an elementary education teacher in SE Wisconsin. I was working the past two years as an ESL teacher in my district and am finally going to have my own first grade classroom. I am so excited and have been spending most of my days trying to find amazing first week activities for my students. Here are a few really cool things I've found so far...

I thought this magic playdough was an amazing idea! The kids can take something home with them and talk about it with their parents and tell them all about their first day! This was from the http://youmightbeafirstgrader.blogspot.com.

Well this will be enough for now. I will try posting something else tomorrow!
