On the Mayflower

Today was a good day in first grade. We are getting excited for the Thanksgiving holiday next week. 

Today in Religion class we talked about why Jesus is called the Good Shepherd. 

In Language Arts class, we reviewed long i and digraphs wh, ch, and tch. We also practiced our sight words before we read our story Who Works Here? The students enjoyed reading about the people who work in our community. 

We did take a little break before lunch to make our centerpieces for our Thanksgiving Luncheon tomorrow. We are all excited to eat a Thanksgiving meal with our friends. 

During Math class today, we practiced reading time to the hour. 

In Social Studies class, we talked about the Mayflower. We read the book On the Mayflower and then wrote facts we learned from the book. Next, we used those facts to create our own little story booklet about the Mayflower. Here are pictures of the facts we wrote and a finished booklet.
