First Grade Economics

Miss Post: I have a math headline story for you today. Whose names may I use?

Christian & Aaisha: Me!

Miss Post: OK. Here's the story: "Christian has three muffins. Aaisha has five." You finish the story.

Students: They should have the same.

Miss Post: Well, how could they accomplish that? What would have to happen in order for Christian to have the same number of muffins as Aaisha?

Aaisha: I should eat two of my muffins.

Snack Break

We eat only healthy snacks at NHA. Fortunately, the kids are still happy about snack time every day. Here are some pictures. We are having a GREAT morning!

Welcome to First Grade!

I just finished my first week and first Monday teaching first grade! Here's an update, shared from a recent email to friends:



Just thought I'd update you a bit on first grade... It's going great! I love it and I love my kids. I have about 5 I am concerned about, but the rest seem to be at least mostly at grade level. I have lots of parent helpers. I have enough hand sanitizer to antibacterialize an army. I'm at school late every day (usually manage to leave around 7... tonight maybe 8). So I'm working 12-hour days and I don't even want to THINK about the tiny monetary difference between this and my summer jobs! But I'm very happy with this class and my school and this is right where I belong right now.



Please enjoy the pictures. These kids are too cute for words. They keep me busy! Thanks to everyone who is praying; I need it and I really appreciate it!
