A Day at the Beach!

Today was quite an exciting day in first grade! We had a great day reviewing skills and learning new things. It is hard to believe that we only have one week left in first grade! 

In Religion class today, we talked about how the church honors the saints. We learned that on November 1st we honor all the saints and call this day All Saints Day! 

During Language Arts class, we did a lot of reviewing and practicing. We reviewed prefixes un- and re-, long vowels i and o, vowels aw and au and short e: ea as well as our sight words. We continued to practice our fluency by partner reading our story Ben Franklin and His First Kite. To help us review the story elements, we made a kite illustrating the characters, setting, problem, and solution in the story. Below is a picture of how the kite turned out. Next we took a test on the story. We finished class by practicing using pronouns in sentences. 

In Math class today we learned how to solve a problem by drawing a picture and using  table. For Science class, our focus stayed with plants. We identified the needs of plants. 

Finally, it was time for Art class. Today we made a beach scene, perfect since summer is right around the corner. Don't they make you want to be at the beach right now? 

Have a wonderful weekend!
