Assemblies and More

Happy Friday! Today was another busy day in first grade. 

We began our day by attending Mass and then our Peackekeeper Kick-off Assembly. There we learned to motto THINK which means before we speak or act we have to think is it true, is it helpful, is it inspiring, is it nice, and is it kind. The assembly ended with the playing of the song "Just the Way You Are" by Bruno Mars. 

Once we returned to the classroom, we resumed our work. We wrapped up our story The Big Blue Ox, took our Spelling test, and practiced sorting each other into two groups. 

In Science class today, we talked about the three main body parts of insects. The students worked in groups to build a clay model of an insect. Each model had to have the three body parts and six legs. The students really enjoyed this. 

Art class today was devoted to apples. We created a mosaic apple by filling in an apple pattern with pieces of red construction paper. We used our handprint for the stem. 

Have a great weekend!
