Welcome!!! This blog has been talked about and thought about for some time now and we are so excited to finally get it going. The three of us are all teachers who have spent a combined total of 15 years (and counting) teaching first grade. We love what we do and can't wait to share our ideas and experiences with all of you. We learn so much and get so many great ideas from fellow teacher bloggers and hope that we can do the same for you. Our plan is to share ideas for lessons, organization, assessments and general tips and tricks that we have found to work in our classrooms. If you have any suggestions or questions, feel free to comment or send us an email at firstgradeandfancyfree@gmail.com. We hope you grow to enjoy this blog as much as we enjoy doing it.
