A Fast, Busy Day of Learning!

Happy Tuesday! Today was another busy day of learning in first grade. We kept moving from one thing to another. Before we knew it, it was lunchtime. The afternoon went just as quick. 

In Religion class today we talked about how Jesus taught his followers how to prayed. The students were surprised that Jesus taught his followers the Our Father. We found it amazing that we are still praying this prayer all these years later. 

In Language Arts class, we learned new oral vocabulary words. We also learned how to blend and read words with the inflected ending -ing. We then practiced reading words with end blends by using our letter tiles to spell and read words; we also practiced our sight words. Then it was time to read. We reread The Best Spot and wrote about the main topic and key details in the story. We also read our decodable reader. Finally, we wrote the second step in brushing our teeth. 

During Math class today we learned new math facts. We switched gears from addition to subtraction today and learned the subtracting 1 facts. We discovered that subtracting 1 is just like counting backwards by 1. 

Here is the Art picture I have been promising you: 

Enjoy your night!
