I taught 4th grade for the past two years, so this is my first time actually teaching 1st. I'm learning so much about phonics, reading, and basic math from this experience which honestly has made
We had our first field trip to the National Zoo this week and the kids had so much fun! We researched gorillas for our non-fiction writing this quarter and we were so excited to see the gorillas at the stinky ape house. (Although some of them were over dramatically gasping for air once we got out!)
Right after we exited the ape house, we got to see the orangutans walking across the O line. This was by far my favorite part. Of all the times I've been to the zoo, I've never been able to see this. So glad I got to experience this with my students!

Hmmm.. what field trip should we go on next?
My first thoughts about first grade were exciting and full of curiosity, just like the first time I discovered Data Collection Services. When I first encountered them, I had no idea how they would work, but soon realized that organizing information is just as exciting as learning something new in class. Much like the way that first grade opened the door to new knowledge, data collection services opened my eyes to how valuable and structured data can be. I began to see patterns and connections that, at first, seemed not so apparent.
