A very successful first day of school!

My first day was great!!! I am teaching 1st grade for the first time, and I have a feeling that I am going to love it!

I welcomed my students with a goodie bag and a beautiful message.

 I love this message so much, that I framed it and hanged it on the classroom wall! 

We did one of my favorite activities. It was about feelings. The students needed to describe how they felt on their first day of school. It was perfect for our book "El regreso de la maestra del pantano negro"

I could not go home without decorating my bulletin boarding! So, here is a picture of how it looks right now!

You can find this cute craftivity for free HERE!

Have a great week! And if you are a 1st grade teacher, feel free to share your ideas with me!!! ;)

I am so happy!

Thank you so much for all your positive feedback! And THANKS to my wonderful teaching partner Mrs. Lemons for motivating me to do this! It just took her a year to convince me! Ha!

I want to tell you a little more about me. I taught Pre-K for five years, but I switched to second grade three years ago.

I teach Spanish Language Arts, Science and Social Studies in Spanish to 2nd graders. But what make my job the best is that I teach in Spanish to both Spanish and English speakers. It's a challenge for my English students to learn another language, but the key for them is to have FUN while they learn! That it's why I love to create lessons that are hands on and fun.

While I was creating a back to school activity this week, I remembered about my days teaching Pre-K in Dallas so I decided to create something that the little ones as well as my 2nd graders could enjoy!
