Dr. Suess said, “Today was good, today was fun, tomorrow is another one.” With fond memories in my heart and more than a few tears in my eyes, I announce that I am leaving Meadow Wood to teach 1<sup>st</sup> grade at Hunter’s Creek. <o:p></o:p></div>

Looking back at my blog, I realized, by coincidence, I named it exactly what I wanted to show…Johnson’s Journey. The last 6 years have been an amazing journey filled with incredible friends, creative colleagues, and most of all lots of hard work that has shown its rewards over and over in the faces of the kids I have had the privilege to guide. This journey for me was a secondary plan in life, but after stepping into the role of teacher, I quickly learned it was the only place I wanted to be. So today, as I look to the fun that tomorrow will bring, I would be remiss to not think back about the “where” I have come. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
My husband and I put our kids in Meadow Wood 19 years ago, after buying a home in Nottingham Forest. We fell in love with the special school that sat on Memorial and continued to support it even when we had a gap when a Johnson was not attending. I held tons of positions on the PTA, served on THE CAT team as a community member, and then began to sub and eventually teach. In the years here, I have seen 4 principals, great teachers perfect their craft, lost an amazing friend and teacher to cancer, and seen kids grow into responsible adults. What a JOURNEY!<o:p></o:p></div>

My mom always said, change is a part of life. For me this is always a difficult. I am the person that puts her furniture in one location and doesn’t change it – ever! I thank you for the support and belief you have by entrusting your kids with me. As my journey takes a turn, I will look back fondly on the road that MWE paved in my heart, and look forward with excitement at the road ahead!

We started with the trip to the zoo. Students asked questions, made measurements, used observation skills to record their new information. After returning, we used library books, web sites, the Zoo App and much more to write about what we learned. Today we started pulling it all together with a fun App Show Me. I hope you enjoy the ones we have done!<br />

We are putting fractions into actions...with our bodies! Today we used partners and movement to find a part of the whole group. There were some very creative thinkers. We had to look up the number of teeth in a mouth before we could find the whole group for 1 question! Here are a few examples!Ashley Johnsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04915017631766315360noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5823706813267095540.post-26826601918187977102014-04-28T15:23:00.002-05:002014-04-28T15:26:47.238-05:00Field Day FUN!What a great treat at the end of April, FIELD DAY! I sure hope your students came home as tired as I did. We had a great time playing field events, picnic eating and cooling off with snow cones. If you didn't make it up, be sure to ask your students about the scooter races and the traditional kick ball game. Sad to say, for the first time teachers lost - even after we tried a little creative base running. It was a great day - and so nice to be while it was still a little cool!<br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYMkCvUjqEfaiyom_cyg3qIs-KnzSCM2AzFsYtwLbthmGVaawdCtykNfB5ND3GUx_pz9wLJ8B-0liWnIRIu8RxeK46xnBL5886Ldstd3b6Mch5GPejTh6wK5JlRDqqV082JZYAmVQNU1c/s640/blogger-image--679529165.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

The day started with a class discussion about taxes, who pays , what is it for, and why is it important. Students had to pay the tax office. Their tax money was due after lunch. It was a great way to show students some civic responsibility. <div><br></div><div>Be sure to ask your student how much money they have earned. </div><div><br></div><div>Enjoy your long weekend.

Have your students talked about taking a brain break? Everyday in the middle of our morning, we take a 3 minute break to get wiggles and jiggles out. This is a great transition from writing to reading and helps us get ready to focus for the 2nd half of our morning. I thought you would like to see the kids do one of their favorite breaks! So what does the Fox say?Ashley Johnsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04915017631766315360noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5823706813267095540.post-78785516024862840252014-03-28T16:45:00.001-05:002014-03-28T16:47:20.367-05:00Don't just GOOGLE it!This week we learned how to use a dictionary. Yes, many kids said "just google it". Even my own 25 year old at dinner argued the last time he looked up a word was 2nd grade (the word weather). We talked about why is it important to know how to use a dictionary. Caden said "because you can get eye strain from technology". Eliana said, "if the power goes out and you need to know about a word". I wanted students to use their ABC order and understand how to look up information (a little grit is involved to stay persistent). <div><br></div><div>If your at school, check out our bulletin board with the new words we learned!</div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG8oVWRXWfT2DoFU3y7Zzsc5qFTwayIUTVDVNv5BneaihsIkfjs3rhXDNTqA8bXc9971QD_6ECRw-6wOlGnHAaOk8k4rQXNN9z4K6f8b9SWE2jvkIZeFTlw8ki8bHPIc_87O7BplnvULY/s640/blogger-image--1974569727.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG8oVWRXWfT2DoFU3y7Zzsc5qFTwayIUTVDVNv5BneaihsIkfjs3rhXDNTqA8bXc9971QD_6ECRw-6wOlGnHAaOk8k4rQXNN9z4K6f8b9SWE2jvkIZeFTlw8ki8bHPIc_87O7BplnvULY/s640/blogger-image--1974569727.jpg"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhM10XCU7OUYkxzPMkz8Hvn4Q1bLb7OqUbd_DHmzDYidYEPST5gUxLp9-7Rv-nIq2puHaMqUqilvvXqgyyDDR6kdMKuuvSelRCnSeFXh6fAYwZxz7AxrvYrQGD5t2O-fEbIbX3Aijtwjc/s640/blogger-image-2123953038.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhM10XCU7OUYkxzPMkz8Hvn4Q1bLb7OqUbd_DHmzDYidYEPST5gUxLp9-7Rv-nIq2puHaMqUqilvvXqgyyDDR6kdMKuuvSelRCnSeFXh6fAYwZxz7AxrvYrQGD5t2O-fEbIbX3Aijtwjc/s640/blogger-image-2123953038.jpg"></a></div>Ashley Johnsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04915017631766315360noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5823706813267095540.post-58288907690352539402014-03-25T22:00:00.002-05:002014-03-25T22:00:32.682-05:00Texas A to Z 2014!The kids did a great job bringing Texas to Life from A to Z!

Students have been divided into groups and spent time researching what it means to recycle. After they did the research, students wrote a script, designed a setting, made characters and costumes. The goal was to educate and persuade people to recycle. We filmed 1 commercial and hope to get the rest done this week.<br />

The clues for our reader included...<br>
<br>
1. He is a boy scout.<br>
2. He makes mailboxes, but is not a postman.<br>
3. He LOVES to read.<br>
<br>
Emerson did a great job at connecting information. She guessed the reader was my dad, because months ago I said he was a boy scout and could tell us the way to fold a flag. Way to go, Emerson!<br>
<br>
I have the BEST dad is the entire world. Not only does he help with random jobs, like building the perfect stand to fit a camera, he dressed up like the book character, Pa Bear.<br>
<br>
After reading, he talked about all the different reading that he does. Students introduced themselves and talked about why they are special.
