Greetings! Welcome to the month of October in first grade!This month will get busy especially towards the end. Please read the letter that went home today regarding All Saints' Day. If you have any questions, please let me know.
The church dedicates the month of October to the rosary. So, today in first grade we learned how to pray the rosary. We first colored a sheet explaining the prayers we pray. Next, the students were given their own rosaries and we prayed the first decade of the Joyful Mysteries. Each day we will continue to pray of decade of the rosary.
Our focus then switched to Language Arts. We began by learning two new oral vocabulary words. We then talked about asking and answering questions when reading a text. We put this skill to work as we read Friends All Around. Next, we practiced blending and reading short o words. That was followed by us practicing our new sight words. We finished the morning by working in our literacy centers. This afternoon we wrote a descriptive sentence about a cat and learned about questions and exclamations.
In Math class today we talked about rectangles. We learned that rectangles have 4 angles and 4 sides. We then used our geoboards to make rectangles.
Just a reminder that book orders are due tomorrow. Enjoy your night!
