Measuring in Feet

Greetings! Today was such a great day of learning in first grade! We began our day by attending Eucharistic Adoration. I say this all the time, but it is so true. It is always nice to spend some quiet time with Jesus to start the day. 

When we came back, we jumped into Language Arts. We learned how to blend and read words with the vowels ew, ue, and ui. The students loved saying this vowel sound day. Next we practiced our sight words. We then worked in literacy centers. This afternoon, we practiced using adjectives for how many in sentences. Students were given a die cube. They rolled the die and wrote a sentence for a number of objects. For example, if they rolled a three, they would write 'I have three cookies.' Finally, we wrote the topic sentence for our informative paragraph on koalas. 

In Math class today we learned how to measure in feet. We first measured the width of the classroom using our feet by going heel to toe across the room. We learned that this wasn't the best way since each one of us has different size feet. This led us to learning about the standard foot size which is a ruler. We then used rulers to measure the width of the classroom. 

Just a reminder that we will have gym class tomorrow.
