A Wonderful Day!

Greetings, everyone. I hope you enjoyed the warmer weather and sunshine this weekend. It sure put me in the mood for spring. I am hoping there are no disruptions to our week. 

We are off to a fabulous start in first grade. Today in Religion class we learned that Jesus gave us the sacraments, special signs of God's grace and love. Later this week, we will learn about each sacrament. 

In Language Arts class, we reviewed words with comparative endings, -dge words, and our sight words. We then put our knowledge to the test when we read Where Are My Animal Friends? The students enjoyed reading this as a play. We also practiced writing contractions for the word not. 

During Math class today, we practiced  counting a large group of objects. Students worked in groups to count bags of pennies. They put pennies in groups of ten to help them count. 

This week also marks the beginning of our celebration of Dr. Seuss, a beloved children's author. Each day this week, we will read one of his books and complete an activity that correlates to the story. On Friday, we read The Foot Book. Students were then given a picture of feet and had to write antonyms on them. Today we read The Cat in the Hat. After reading the story, students sequenced events from the story. Here are pictures of our antonym feet. 


Have a great week everyone!
