The Heat is On

Happy Tuesday! It was another fantastic day in first grade. 

In Religion class today, we talked about prayer. We discussed the different prayers we say to God and talked about how we grow closer to God when we pray. We then wrote our own prayer to say this week. 

During Language Arts class, we reviewed diphthong oi and oy, suffixes -er and -or, and our sight words. This led up to reading Simple Machines. It is a great nonfiction story about levers, pulleys, inclined planes, and wheels and axles. We did a lot of Science learning while reading this story. Also today, we wrote the topic sentence for our narrative paragraph on recess. Finally, we ended class by working in our literacy centers. 

In Math class today, we learned about quarters. We began by just counting quarters. We then counted quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies together. We are getting very good at counting coins. 

Just a reminder that tomorrow is Gym class.
