Happy Monday!

Greetings, everyone! First grade had a good start to the week. We learned how to blend, read, and spell long o words when spelled oa or ow. We also talked about the author's purpose in writing a story. In addition, we continued our study of adjectives by discussing adjectives for size. 

In Math class today, we learned some new addition facts. These facts are a bit different in that we need to identify the missing number in the problem so that when we add it to the one number we will get ten. For example in ? + 4 = 10, the answer is 6. With a little more practice we will be solving these problems with ease. 

As promised here is a picture of the artwork we made last Friday in Art class. 

Just a quick note to close, I am so proud of how well the students behaved during the lockdown today. They sat so quietly and listened so well. Hopefully all of our nerves have settled and tomorrow will be a normal day!
