Word Lists for Houghton Mifflin





This is a sample of the weekly word lists we use.  Inspired by the girls at Made for 1st Grade, we use the 10 spelling words that they suggest.

100 Days of School

We celebrated the 100th day of school today!  Check out our portraits  - my new favorite activity!  We made a picture of what we might look like when we are 100 years old!

Our Doubles Ipod

I'm loving Heidi Samuelson's idea @ Swamp Frog First Graders of a doubles ipod.  I've uploaded a template for one that I printed on #10 business envelopes.  The students will store their doubles flashcards in the bottom part of the envelope ipod.  Searching for a catchy doubles song I found "Addition Rock" by Alabama Axeman on YouTube.  We'll try it out tomorrow and upload a few decorated ipods.
