A Cooler Friday!

Greetings! Today was a much cooler day in first grade. That nice breeze came into our room and cooled things down. This really made our room feel nice. 

Today was a really busy day to end our first full week of school. We began our day by attending Mass. The students were so reverent today and listened so well as Msgr. Lockard reminded us to embrace all the new things that will come our way this year. 

Back in the classroom, we spent our morning in Language Arts. Today we began our first story of the year. We worked on building our oral vocabulary. We also practiced visualizing events in a story. Next, we blended and read short a words. Finally, we put our knowledge to the test as we read a short story. 

After lunch, we visited the library. We will be visiting the library every Friday. Please remember to return all library books to school by then. 

In Math class, we created a bar graph. To do this, each student was given a dot cube. He/she then rolled the cube and then colored a box on a graph that corresponded to the number rolled. After the activity, we talked about our graphs. 

During Science class, we discussed all the ways animals move. We then identified animals that move in certain ways. 

Finally, after working hard all day, it was time for Art class. Today we made mosaic apples. We used our handprint as the stem. Here are a few finished masterpieces: 


Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend. See you on Tuesday!
