Parade of Saints

Today was truly a blessed day in first grade. This day has really turned into one of my favorite days of the year with the students. I love seeing their smiles as they walk down the aisle; they are so proud of their saint. 

Thank you all for attending our All Saints' Day Prayer Service. It was great having so many parents, grandparents, and other relatives there. The students were so excited to take part in this special event. Thank you for making it special for them. 

Before the prayer service, we did do learning in first grade. It was hard for them to stay focused; they wanted to get into their outfits first thing this morning. But we pushed through and accomplished a lot today. 

In Religion, we focused on the church season of Ordinary Time. We learned that during this season, we hear stories about Jesus' healings and teachings. 

During Language Arts class, we blended and read the digraphs wh, ch, and tch. We also read our Scholastic News on bats. They were quite fascinating by them. Finally, we finished our haunted house writing by adding some artwork to it. 

Just a reminder that tomorrow is our Halloween celebration. Please remember to send in costumes tomorrow. Tomorrow is also a jean day for the students.
