Some Special Visitors

Happy Wednesday, everyone! Today proved to be yet another busy day in first grade. 

In Religion, we read the story of the Forgiving Father, also known as the Prodigal Son story. We talked about the story and the lesson that Jesus wanted us to learn that God is always forgiving and loving. We then created stick puppets to act out the story. 

During Language Arts class today we read Mole and the Baby Bird. In this story a Mole takes in a wild bird for a pet bu soon learns that the bird does not make a good pet and needs to be free. 

In Math class we learned how to measure and draw line segments using centimeters. 

We ended our day with Social Studies class where we learned the difference between needs and wants. Needs are things that we must have; wants are things we would like to have. I told them to keep this in mind the next time they go shopping. 

The best part of the day was our new little visitors. We have ladybugs in our classroom. Over the next couple of days we will be studying about them and then releasing them into the wild.
