Today just seemed like an ordinary day in first grade. In Language Arts we learned about the sound al. It took us a little getting used to, but once we got the hang of it we were off and reading. We also practiced our sight words for the week. 

It is amazing seeing the children's writing skills develop. Today, they wrote a sentence describing a picture. Many of them used vivid verbs and adjectives to describe it. They are becoming such wonderful writers. 

We are all looking forward to our reading story tomorrow since it is about Max and Ruby. I'm sure we'll be laughing and smiling.
