Welcome to November in first grade! This month will be full of learning. We will devote time to learning about Thanksgiving and take part in special activities that focus around the holiday!
We began our day with Mass in honor of All Saints' Day. Msgr. Lockard reminded us that the saints lived holy lives by following the Beatitudes. We prayed that we may follow the Beatitudes and one day fulfill our mission of being called a saint.
In Language Arts class today we learned three new oral vocabulary words. We also practiced making predictions as we read "The Three Little Pigs." We then reviewed short u words by using our letter tiles to spell words. Next, we learned about contractions. We learned that a contraction is a short way to write two words and that an apostrophe takes the place of missing letters. Our focus this week will just be 's contractions. After that, we worked on our fluency and comprehension skills by reading our decodable reader and rereading Cubs in a Hut and by writing answers to questions that focused on character, setting, and plot.
In Math class today we learned how to count on. First we rolled two dice, then we found the bigger number, and last we counted on. We worked with a partner to practice this skill and created a bar graph to show the numbers we rolled.
Enjoy your night!
