He is Risen!

Greetings! Today was a great day in first grade. We continued to talk about the Easter story in Religion class. We made Resurrection scenes with each picture saying 'He is Risen!' The students did a great job decorating them. Have a look: 

The students really enjoyed working in the literacy centers today. Their favorite was probably the Word Work center where they got to play tic-tac-toe. In order to put a piece on the game board, they first had to read a word correctly. I saw a lot of smiles coming from that center. 

In Math class, we used pattern blocks to identify one half, one third, and one sixth of an object. 

The highlight of the day was gym class. Today we practiced throwing and catching bean bags. We then put our aiming skills to the test by trying to get the bean bags into a hula hoop. 

Have a great night!
