Happy Monday! It felt so good to have a normal day of school. I will say that on my way to school today, it was snowing. I was glad to see that it did not last long. The sun came out and melted it away. I hope today is the beginning of some normalcy.
In Religion class today we learned that Jesus gave us the sacraments. We learned that the sacraments are a special sign of God's life and love, that there are seven sacraments, and that we celebrate the sacraments with our parish family.
We will be spending this week reading Mama's Birthday Present. It is a long story that tells of a boy planning a birthday party for his mama. It is a great story to illustrate Spanish birthday traditions. Today we listened to the story and briefly reviewed the plot. Tomorrow we will read the story. Before listening to the story, we reviewed long a: ai, ay, possessives, and our sight words.
Also in Language Arts class today, we worked in literacy centers. We also wrote the topic sentence for our paragraph on why we love recess. In addition, we continued our celebration of Dr. Seuss. Today we read The Foot Book. After reading we generated a list of antonyms in the story; we then picked a pair and illustrated them.
During Math class today, we learned how to divide a square into fourths. We practiced folding paper squares into fourths. We then practiced dividing a square into fourths by drawing lines. Finally, we learned how to write the fraction 1/4.
As you can see, it was a busy day in first grade!
