To cover standard 1.M.2, I found an interactive game for first graders to practice reading digital clocks. There are levels for telling hours, half hours, and quarters of time. I played it myself and even enjoyed it!

My first bookmark for this week is a more generic, but I think it is awesome. This website gives you links to 10 apps teachers can use for lesson planning! Now you do not have to fuss with papers and this is a great use of technology for the benefit of the classroom.

This webpage allows examples and design elements for lesson plans in a variety of subjects and grade levels.

Different vocabulary words that a first grader might have to learn during the course of their year in Social Studies.

This is a YouTube video titled "Being a Good Citizen Narration". A book like this is one I would read to my students to teach them what being a good citizen means and ways they can be good citizens themselves (social studies standard 1.2.3).

I love this activity so much! It covers multiple standards, but the one I am focusing on is 1.M.3. For this activity, students combine their skills of telling time AND finding the value of money(coins). I would not glue the coins to the clock like the directions say because I would want the students to be able to find multiple ways of using coins to find different times on the clock.

A first grade social studies website with different worksheets for the students. Also has the option of picking different grades.

Use this link to search by grade level, subject and theme for classroom activities on a variety of topics. Resource lists with many sites are listed under every topic. There is a little something for everyone here from a wide collection of instructional units.

A dog is divided into 3 parts, front, middle, and back. Students have to place the picture on the correct section of the dog depending on where the letter being worked on occurs in the corresponding word to the picture. This activity could be used for standard 1.RF.3.4. Modifications to the activity would have to be made so that one syllable words were being used instead of words containing multiple syllables. Students could complete this activity during center/free time.

A website which can provide several activities for a first grade social studies class based on geography. However it does have choices on the side for other grade levels too.

Starting with standard 4.NS.1. The activities in this site help students learn the place values up to 1,000,000, and beyond!!

To cover science standard 1.4.3, I would love to have my students build this ant habitat in a jar for the classroom. From this, students could observe the lifestyle of an ant and all the hard work they do. Drawing a replica of what they see in their jar would be a great art activity to combine with this idea.
