Next School Year

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer break! I wanted to let you know that next year I will not be teaching 1st grade at UPA. I am perusing a different teaching opportunity in another school district beginning in the fall. I've truly enjoying being able to work with all the students and families I've come to know so well over the last four years! Each child will hold a special place in my heart and I know I've learned so much from your children! I would love to keep in touch if you never need anything in the future. My personal e-mail is kawoolse@oakland.edu. Thank you again for all your help and support as your partner in your child's education.

Love Always,
Mrs. Woolsey

Can you help me with my homework? :)

In my current graduate class in my Early Childhood Education program we are discussing children and families. One of our assignments is to conduct a survey with parents of young children about different topics. My topic is about media and technology. If you can- please answer the questions in the survey below and e-mail me your answers. The best thing to do is to just copy the whole survey and paste it in the message area in your email. Let me know if you have any questions about it. Thanks in advance for your help! :)

Beach Day Fun!

What a fun day we had on Friday! The students wore their beach clothes, sunglasses, flip flops and brought towels to school. We moved the tables out of the way and did all our work on our towel!

Here the kids are enjoying their watermelon snack!




Centers all had a beach theme! 
 The girls are making sand play-dough!

 The girls here are putting beach balls in order from smallest to greatest.

The boys enjoyed playing in the sand table!

 The boys here colored and read their beach story.


 All our work was done on clip boards on our towels. We wrote beach stories and sorted beach words by their syllables. 


At the end of the day for math the kids were partnered up and walked around the room to measure sea animals.
