The Feast of Epiphany

Greetings, friends! I hope all is well and you are staying warm. It is a good night to snuggle under blankets and drink hot chocolate. 

We had a great start to the week in first grade. During Religion class, we talked about the Three Kings and recalled how they followed the star to Bethlehem to give Jesus gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. The students then created a picture of the Three Kings showing their gifts. 

Our focus then switched to Language Arts. Today we learned that when y appears at the end of a word it can say "i" or "e". We then applied this knowledge when we read our decodable reader. We also talked about how comparing and contrasting things in a story helps us to better understand the story. 

In Math class today, we learned about pairs. We learned that their are two things in a pair. We then practiced putting pennies into pairs. 

Stay warm!
