Donor's Choose

Hello Families,

I put up a Donor's Choose Project for headphones for our classroom. If you would like to share the link to friends and family I would really appreciate it. Here is the link: Headphones Donor's Choose


I will also be sending home login information for students to play games on the EM4 Website. Each child has an individual password. Here is the website:  EM4 Games

Thank you,

Mrs. Bilangino

Formerly Ms. McGee, Now Mrs. Bilangino

Hi New Families! Welcome to my blog! I have started the blog from scratch as I was married this summer and changed my last name. I figured I would give the blog a new look and a new name! (Just in case anyone is wondering how to pronounce my new last name it is  said "Bill an gino" ☺) I wanted to share a little bit about myself. I have been teaching first grade at Toquam for 7 years and I absolutely love it. I went to Fairfield University for my undergraduate degree and then received my masters in education from University of Bridgeport, while simultaneously working within the Stamford Public Schools. I live in Stamford with my husband and our two dogs, Bailey and Jackson. When I am not at school I enjoy walking our dogs, cooking and baking, and reading, lots of reading!

Busy Fall

Hi Everyone! I'm sorry I haven't posted in the last few weeks. I have so much to share with you! We have been having the best time here at school. Here is an overview of what we have been doing: Reading: We have our Daily 5 up and running. Students are choosing reading jobs, listening to reading on the tag readers or iPads, working on writing, reading to someone, working on word work, reading to self and working with a teacher. The reading time is going really well and I'm loving meeting with all the kiddos in their reading groups! Phonics: During phonics we have been reviewing our digraphs (sh, ch, th, wh, qu and ph). Some students have been practicing mage e words as well! We have three centers during phonics everyday. One job is independent work which might be a game, Headsprout on the tablet or a worksheet, and two centers with adults, one with me and one with another adult. Each group is differentiated based on student needs. Math: We had our first math test...

First Week of First Grade Was A Success!

We had a great two days in first grade. We were so busy learning the new rules and routines that I forgot to take any pictures! Sorry about that. Here are a few things we learned/reviewed from Kindergarten: - three ways to read a book -classroom rules -how to transition through centers -how to fill in our math calendar and charts -how to line up -how to walk through the hallways -how to clean up after ourselves at lunch -how to use the behavior chart (hopefully you saw your child's behavior chart and the letter in their folder) -how to use the big playground safely -how to use our markers and glue sticks so they last! We learned a lot new routines, but also had fun! We did an activity comparing walking in the hallway to having marshmallows on our toes. We then talked about our 5 senses and actually had a marshmallow. The kids really liked that activity. Next week we will definitely get into more of the curriculum and start Daily 5 (reading), we will do more math as...
