First Day Introductions


 Welcome to 1st grade! 
My name is Ms. Harris, and I can't wait to get started!
     I would like to share with you a little bit about myself.  I have lived here in Wichita my whole life.  I went to Heights High School, where I graduated in 2005.  I then went to Butler Community College, then Wichita State University to finish my degree in Elementary Education. 

A few of my favorite things:
~ I love kids! I am so excited to be your teacher this year, and can't wait to meet each and every one of you!

~ I love to be outdoors!  I spend a lot of time on my parents farm in Southern Kansas.  I also like to go camping, garden, and take care of my yard.
~I love animals! I have two dogs, but I love all kinds of animals!  Below is a picture of my dog Buddy when he was still a puppy.

~I love to be creative!  Organizing, painting, drawing, decorating...it's all fun!

Have you ever mixed to colors together and found out it makes a whole new color?
These are what we call primary and secondary colors.
When you mix to primary colors together, it makes a secondary color. 
Below I have posted a video that shows this process.


This chart below shows all the primary and secondary colors.
Primary colors: Red, Blue and Yellow
 Secondary colors: Orange,Green and Violet 
 
~I love my family!  I have the most amazing, loving, and supportive family.  I spend as much time with them as possible.  Below is a picture of my niece and nephew.

I can't wait to meet all of you!  We are going to learn so much together this year in school!  It may take a little time, but I want to learn all about each and every one of you.
 See you soon!
