So Much to Share!

Happy Monday, everyone! I have so much exciting things to share with you today. First grade was one busy and exciting place to be today. 

During Religion class, we began our talk about Advent. It is hard to believe that Advent begins on Sunday. We talked about the Advent wreath and the candles on the wreath. 

In Language Arts class, we blended and read long o words and practiced reading long o words in a story. We talked about sequencing events in a story. In addition, we practiced writing days of the week, months, and holidays correctly. 


In Math class, we order containers based on their capacity. We filled four different containers with water counting the number of cups as we filled each one. It was exciting playing with water. 

Last week, as part of our study about Thanksgiving, we read two stories: Samuel Eaton's Day  and Sarah Morton's Day. Each story looked into the lives of young Pilgrim boys and girls. 

We then created charts listing the different activities these young children did. Today we completed a Venn Diagram comparing/contrasting the daily lives of Pilgrim boys and girls. Here are our charts. 


Following that, we created Pilgrims and wrote about what we would do if we were Pilgrim boys and girls. Take a look: 


Finally, as promised on Friday, here are pictures of our Indian corn art project: 


Have a great night everyone!
