Cinco de Mayo

Happy Tuesday! Today was another exciting day in first grade. We continued our study of the Mass in Religion. Today's focus was the Liturgy of the Word. We learned about each reading and our response to each one. 

In Language Arts class, we practiced reading more words with inflected endings. Today we learned that when a word ends in e we need to drop the e before adding the ending. We also practiced reading our sight words. In addition we practiced writing sentences correctly and completed a graphic organizer for our first narrative paragraph. Finally, we worked in our literacy centers. 

During Math class today, we reviewed counting dimes, nickels, and pennies. We also talked about two geometric solids: cylinders and cubes. We even made our own cylinders using a piece of construction paper. 

Just a reminder that tomorrow is Gym day. Below are pictures I promised from last Friday's Art class. These butterflies make the hallway extra bright!
