Free Choice Day!

Let's start by voting in this week's poll. After you vote, please come to the floor in front of the Smart Board and we'll talk about today's activity.

Today is the free choice day for the quarter!!! Use your schema about the last free choice day we had; what are some things you can do on free choice day? Let's talk about our ideas.

Let's take a look at the blog and see what it has to offer for free choice day.

Have fun!

This is a good day to be lazy for Mrs. Johnston because Mrs. Johnston ran 26.2 miles!

Get To Know Your Teacher!

I am so excited to be back at Harelson with this awesome group of first grade students!

I am from the Great State of Michigan - GO BLUE!!! I grew up in Bloomfield Hills, a city north of Detroit. I lived in Michigan until I went to college. My BA is from Denison University in Granville, Ohio - GO BIG RED! Mr. Johnston and I met in college and we even got married at Denison! I moved to Arizona in the summer of 2007 and I absolutely love my home in Tucson! I have my M.Ed. from Northern Arizona University - GO LUMBERJACKS!

My parents live in Tucson too and it is great to be near them. My mom makes many of the neat bees and decorations in our room and she likes to come in and read to my students.

Mr. Johnston and I have two adorable and funny miniature schnauzers named Sophie Pink and Lilly Rose. They want to meet all of my first graders! You will get to know all about Sophie Pink and Lilly Rose and their fun adventures! And, you will even get to meet them one day!

This year is going to be an exciting year for us because in addition to our 'fur-kids,' we are expecting our first child, a little boy, due January 28, 2013! We can hardly wait!

I love my family, playing with Sophie Pink and Lilly Rose, reading, exercise, baking, the color PINK and teaching, of course!! Being healthy and active are very important to me. I am a marathon runner and I run all around Oro Valley, so be sure to wave if you see me running! I also workout at CrossFit and I absolutely love it! Kids do CrossFit WODs (workout of the day) every day in class. Exercise warms up your brain and gets you ready to learn! Exercise makes you strong and healthy. Exercise is fun!

I love BEES! Bees are amazing little creatures because they have big bodies and tiny, thin little wings. They should not be able to fly, but each day they take flight and do great things. Isn't that cool?!?! Bees are smart too! Bees created their very own special dance language to talk to each other. Isn't that neat?!?! I think all of my students are like bees - they can do anything! I believe that all my students will achieve great things.
