When I chose the name for my blog, I decided on the title The First Grade Buzz because my classroom has a garden theme. My students are all the bugs "buzzing" in my garden. Their Reading group names are all different types of bugs. (Butterflies, Dragonflies, Fireflies, Bumblebees, and Grasshoppers)
I hope you enjoy these pics of where I spend a lot of my time! If you are interested in any more information about this theme, feel free to ask!

ReplyDeleteI love all of the pictures of your room...I am obsessed with looking in other classrooms.
ReplyDelete1st grade is like a garden because our Firsties grow and change so much! I have some butterfly lights in my room because they remind me of how my 1st graders are like butterflies that start out as caterpillars.
I am happy to be your newest follower. I would love for you to hop over for a visit when you get the chance. =)

Hi Heather! Thanks for your kind words. I will actually be moving out of that classroom next year and will miss it very much! I loved the room and my theme. I have been following you for a while, under my old blog "The First Grade Buzz." Heading over now to make it official under my new name. :)
