First Week Completed

Happy Friday! It is hard to believe that the first week of school has come and gone. It has been an exciting week in first grade. We are learning routines and are starting to dive into the curriculum. I am really looking forward to spending the year with the students and watching them grow in their learning. 

We started today with Religion class. Today we focused on how God created us to know, love, and serve him. We also talked about how God wants us to care for the Earth. 

In Language Arts class, we learned to blend and read words with final -ck. We practiced this skill by spelling -ck words and reading a decodable reader. We also received our very first Spelling word list today. We are going to practice these words all week and will take a test on them next Friday. 

During Math class today we practiced writing the numbers 2, 3, and 7. 

On Fridays, we will have Science class. Today we talked about classifying animals. After discussing the various ways to sort animals, the students were given a worksheet with animal pictures on it. They had to sort the animals into two groups. All did a wonderful job with this task. 

We ended the day with Art class. For our very first art project, students used pieces of construction paper and glued them over letters in their name. They then added decorations around their name. These name posters will be coming home on Tuesday for you to enjoy. 

I hope you have a wonderful Labor Day weekend. See you on Tuesday!
