The Eve Before the Field Trip!

Happy Wednesday! We were quite busy beavers today in first grade. We are all excited about the field trip tomorrow. Please remember to have students bring a packed lunch (preferably with no peanuts) and money for the gift shop. Also, students need to wear sneakers to school tomorrow. If you have any other questions, please let me know. 

In Religion class today, we talked about ways to show love to our families. When we do this, we also show God that we love Him too. 

During Language Arts class, we reviewed many phonics skills (diphthongs oi and oy, inflected endings, suffixes, and vowels in book) and our sight words. We partner read our story Simple Machines and wrote a sentence describing each one we read about. We reviewed pronouns and wrote our narrative paragraph on recess. 

In Math class today, we used dimes and pennies to subtract two two-digit numbers. By the end of class we were solving problems without using our coins. 

Our focus today in Social Studies class was American symbols. We made small books illustrating some American symbols including the flag, bald eagle, Uncle Sam, and the Statue of Liberty. 

Our day ended with gym class. As you can imagine, we took advantage of the sunshine and warm weather and played outside on the playground. It was so nice to be able to do.
