Christmas Music in the Air!

Greetings! Today was a busy morning and relaxing afternoon in first grade. We began our day with Religion class. Today we talked about how the Holy Spirit is the third person in the Blessed Trinity. We also learned that the Glory Be prayer is a prayer to the Holy Spirit. 

In Language Arts class, we reviewed our oral vocabulary words, long i words, plurals, and sight words. After all that reviewing it was time to put our skills to work. We partner read a story in our decodable readers. We then read our story The Big Yuca Plant which was a play about a big yuca plant and how a family worked together to pull it out. Finally, we learned how to write the title of a play. 

This afternoon we went to the annual Christmas Band Concert and Christmas play. It was an afternoon filled with Christmas music and songs. The band students and intermediate students are to be commended for a job well done. The music was absolutely beautiful and performed from the heart. Congratulations to all! 

As promised, here are the pictures from yesterday's gingerbread man writing project: 

Enjoy your night!
