March of the Penguins!

Happy Friday everyone! I hope everyone had a great week like we did in first grade. 

Today was a busy hoppin' day in first grade. We continued to talk about the early chrch members in Religion class. 

Language Arts was full of learning. We reviewed the phonics skills we have been practicing this week as well as long e: ee and VCCV words. We also reviewed our sight words. In addition, we practiced building our fluency by rereading An Egg is An Egg; we also took our test on the story. We wrapped up our look at action verbs by creating Action Heroes. The students wrote six actions their hero can do and then designed their costume. Finally, we wrote about things we can do in the winter and things we cannot do. 

Math class was full of codes today. We used the alphabet to give ordinal position to each of the letters. We then used that code to solve secret words. The students loved being detectives. 

In Science class we continued to talk about solids, liquids, and gases, but today we focused on water. We learned that when water is frozen it becomes a solid. Over time water evaporates becoming air. 

We wrapped up our day by having Art class. Today we made penguins. Have a look. 

Have a fantastic weekend!
