Our First Friday!

Happy Friday! It is hard to believe that we have finished our first week in first grade. We had an awesome and busy day in school. 

We began our day with Religion class. We talked about all of the things we are going to be learning this year in first grade. We also promised to be kind to one another throughout the year. 

During Language Arts class, we learned about short a. We talked about the sound short a says and practiced reading short a words. Next, we read the story If You Take A Mouse to School. After reading the story, we sequenced the events from it. Next, we matched the cause to effect events in the story. 

In Math class today we practiced writing the numbers 1, 4, and 5. We discovered that of those 3 numbers, 1 is the easiest to make. 

Next came Science class. We began our study of animals today by grouping animals into different categories. We talked about big and small animals, animals that fly and don't fly, and animals that swim and don't swim. 

Finally, it was time for Art class. Today the students used pieces of paper to decorate their name. These signs look awesome! 

See you on Monday!
