Greetings! I hope everyone had a fantastic week. We had one crazy week in first grade. It seemed that everyday brought about a change in the schedule. On Monday, we gathered to celebrate the retirement of Miss Hertzog. I think the ice cream treat was the hit of that party. We also took time to visit the Book Fair on Tuesday. On Wednesday, we honored Mary with our annual May Crowning celebration. And on Friday, we had our Hawk Walk. Thankfully the rain ended and we were able to enjoy a nice walk and fun games. Despite of all of the interruptions, we still we able to learn new things this week.
In Religion class, we talked about why the Church honors Mary and ways that the Church honors her.
During Language Arts class, we learned to blend and read words with the vowels aw and au and short e words spelled ea. We also worked on drawing conclusions as we read Alexander Graham Bell. The students were amazed at how the first telephones looked and were used. In Grammar this week we practiced using I and me correctly in sentences.
In Math class, we learned how to count quarters. Please continue to practice counting by 25's with the students. We also learned how to subtract two digit numbers without regrouping. Then we practiced showing the temperature on a thermometer. Finally, we learned new subtraction facts: half of a double.
For Gym class this week, we returned to the playground to enjoy the warm breeze and sunshine with our friends. In Social Studies class, we talked about the roles of a mayor, governor, and president. And in Science class, we learned and identified the parts of a plant.
We did have Art class on Friday. It was a simple project. The students made a slice of watermelon using construction paper and a paper plate. They look yummy!
Have a great weekend!
