Real or Fantasy!

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! By the sounds of it, the students enjoyed their time off. I heard many stories about PotatoFest! 

We began our day by learning about the rosary including the prayers we say when we pray the rosary. Then, each student was given their very own rosary. Together we prayed the first decade of the Joyful Mysteries. During the month of October we will continue to pray a decade of the rosary each day. 

During Language Arts class, we blended and read short e words. We also talked about the difference between realistic and fantasy stories. Each student was given a short scenario and had to decide if it was real or fantasy. Here s how it turned out: 


We then talked about telling sentences including that their job is to tell us something. Finally, we made small mosaic apples and wrote sentences about them. Here are two examples: 


In Math class we used linking cubes to help us draw and write addition number sentences. 

As you can see, it was a busy day in first grade. I'm sure the students will sleep good tonight!
