Good Morning First Graders!
        Today is Tuesday. It's going to be another beautiful day! I hope you will get outside and have some fun in the sun! There are two new assignments for you on Seesaw. How is that going for you so far?

Love, Miss Lloyd

Hi families! I have seen that most of you are already set up on Seesaw-that's great! It would seem that the announcements I sent out to all families on Seesaw did not send to those of you who joined after I sent them. I'm trying to keep everyone up to date and informed about how to use it's features. If you have any questions, please just let me know!

Good Morning!

Good Morning First Graders!
        Today is Monday. Did you have a nice weekend? It was warm outside so I went on a lot of walks with Bella. We will be trying out some new ways of learning from home this week. I am excited to try it with all of you! Have a magnificent Monday!

Love, Miss Lloyd

Families, I will be transitioning to using Seesaw rather than this blog as we move forward. On Seesaw I can send out announcements to parents, students, or both. We can also share photos by having your child post them and then we can share them to the Seesaw blog. For now, if you prefer to send me your photos, I will keep posting them here under the choice board tab. My hope is that you and your child will play around with Seesaw and become comfortable sharing things on your own. I will be assigning math and Fundations to your children on Seesaw as well starting today! Please don't stress if you don't get this all figured out on day one. Feel free to contact me with any and all questions you have as we navigate this new territory together. 

Happy Friday!

Good Morning First Graders!
         Today is Friday. It looks like it's going to be a rainy one. Bella thinks it's best to get cozy and nap on a rainy day. What will you accomplish today?

Missing you all so much,

<3 Miss Lloyd

Parents, you can expect to see an e-mail from Seesaw at some point today. Seesaw is the online platform we will use starting Monday! I feel confident that it is going to be a great teaching and connecting tool for you, your children and me. You should also receive an e-mail from Ms. Z today outlining some details for next week. As always, if you have questions I'm just an email, phone call, or blog post away!

Good Morning Everyone!

Good Morning First Graders!
          Today is Wednesday and the first day of April! It is supposed to be beautiful today! Any chance you will get outside to enjoy the sunshine? I know Bella and I will! I hope to hear from you and your family about what you did! Have a great day!

Love, Miss Lloyd

Bella likes to play and then get her belly rubbed when it's sunny outside :) Here's a silly picture of her doing that!

Good Morning Fantastic First Graders!
        Today is Tuesday and the last day of March! What was your favorite part of this month? I  would say mine was the Kids Heart Challenge community meeting. What a fun day we had together! I hope you continue to enjoy learning at home. Have a terrific Tuesday!

Good Morning First Graders!
        Today is Monday. At school, we would have music today. How can you enjoy or make some music at home today? I hope you had a great weekend! Did you do anything outside in the sun Saturday? Have a great day!

Missing you! <3 Miss Lloyd

As always, I'm here for anything you need! Just let me know. 

It's FRIDAY!

March 27, 2020

Good Morning First Graders,

         Today is Friday. I know it's hard that we can't be together, but I hope you can continue to enjoy this time with your family. I know I will cherish all the wonderful memories we have from our first grade time together. Remember when some of us would have a bad day, but then at closing circle I would say we ALL share a favorite part of the day or an appreciation? Let's try to do that today. At the end of your school day today, share with your family and/or comment here with your favorite part of the day or appreciation you have for someone else.

I miss you, <3 Miss Lloyd

Good Morning First Graders!
       Today is Thursday. We would normally have P.E. today at school. What can you do today to stay active and moving? Get outside? Do a GoNoodle? Play tag with your family? Go for a walk or hike? I'm going to take Bella for a long walk later today! Have a terrific day learning at home!

Love, Miss Lloyd
