Awesome Day of Learning!

Greetings! Today was an awesome day of learning in first grade. 

In Religion class we learned that Jesus picked Peter to be the leader of the Apostles. 

We began a new week in Language Arts. We learned two new oral vocabulary words. We also learned how to blend and read long o, long u, and long e words. We used the Smartboard to help us pick out words with those long vowel sounds. We then learned new sight words. We put those new skills to work as we read Life at Home. Next we learned about about the verbs is and are. We ended class by writing about what we would do with a snowman. 

In Math class we practiced our subtracting 2 facts by using a wrap up. And in Social Studies we talked about Martin Luther King, Jr. We drew ways that we could bring peace to our world. 

For Gym class today we danced to videos found on gonoodle.com. These exercise videos are a lot of fun to follow and brought smiles to everyone.
