Learning Around the World!

Greetings! Today was a busy day in first grade. We began with Religion class. Today we talked about how Jesus invited people to be his followers. We read the story about how Jesus called Andrew and Peter. 

In Language Arts class, we reviewed our oral vocabulary words, short u words, contractions, and our sight words. We talked about captions and the information they tell. When then practiced our fluency and comprehension skills. We read a story in our decodable reader book, partner read The Pigs, the Wolf, and the Mud, and read a story about homes around the world. We also sorted nouns based on whether they are singular or plural and wrote the final two steps in our how to paper on how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. 

We used pattern blocks during Math class today. We covered designs with them and then traced the shapes to show our design. Next week, we will be sorting our designs. 

Because of the rain today, we went to the gym for Gym class. We played 'Good Ship Spark.' This game worked on listening skills and locomoter skills. We left the gym sweaty and tired. 

We ended our day with Social Studies class. Today we talked about continents and oceans. We made a map of the world. Have a look: 

Tomorrow will be a busy and exciting day in first grade!
