Busy Monday

Greetings! I hope everyone had a great, relaxing weekend and a wonderful start to another week. We had one busy day in first grade. 

This week, Holy Name is celebrating 40 Hours of Eucharistic Devotion. We began our day by attending Adoration and spending some quiet time with Jesus. Tomorrow we will be going to Mass in the morning and Adoration in the afternoon. 

In Language Arts class today we blended and read words with the inflected ending -s. We learned to read the base word, read the ending, and put it together to read the word. We also talked about the main idea of a story. In addition, we learned the importance of word order in sentences. Finally, we spent time working in our literacy centers. 

During Math class today, we talked about dividing an object in half. I cut apples in half and gave each student a half of an apple. We talked about how two halves make a whole. Finally, students dug seeds from their apples. We will be using the seeds tomorrow in class. 

Have a great night!
