On the 10th Day of December

Greetings, everyone! What a fantastic day of learning we had in first grade today. 

We began our day by attending Adoration. It is always nice to spend some extra time praying to Jesus. 

In Language Arts class today we learned how to read words with the inflected ending -ed. We also practiced our sight words. During the writing portion of the class we wrote letters to Santa. Needless to say, we are getting very excited for Christmas. We even had time today to work in literacy centers. 

We learned how to label a clockface and draw time on a clockface during Math class today. 

The best part of the day was making Christmas ornaments. Each student was given a packet of Model Magic clay from Crayola. They then picked a cookie cutter shape that they wanted for their ornament. The ornaments are hardening now and later in the week we will paint them. Hopefully they will add some sparkle to your Christmas trees. The students did take the extra clay home with them to use. Smiles and laughter filled the room when we did this. 

Just a reminder that tomorrow is gym class.
