Pumpkin Fun!

Today was a great day in first grade! We had so much fun throughout the day. 

We began our day by attending Eucharistic Adoration which is such a nice way to begin a day. It is always nice to spend some quiet time in the presence of Jesus. 

We returned to the classroom, went to Music class, and then started on our day. We reviewed short u and final blends. We also read A Big Fish for Max with a partner. I hope you enjoy the story tonight. We ended our morning with a Math lesson where we practiced our adding 1 facts. 

After lunch, we joined with the other first grade friends to practice for All Saints' Day. The students are doing a good job at listening and following directions. 

Then, it was time for a special project. In the spirit of Halloween, both first grade students helped to carve the pumpkin. The students helped scoop the seeds from inside the pumpkin and worked together to decide on what type of face it should have. Next, while I carved out the face, the students listened to and talked about how a pumpkin grows. Finally, it was time for the big reveal . . . 


We wrapped up the project by writing the steps in carving the pumpkin. 

Tomorrow is gym day. Also, the All Saints' Day costumes are due tomorrow.
