Back to Normal!

Today was back to normal in first grade. And it was back to being busy. Working hard sure makes the day fly by. 

We switched gears in Religion class today. We started a mini retreat on the sacrament of Baptism. Today we talked about how water is an important symbol and about different ways we can serve God. We will conclude our retreat tomorrow. 

Language Arts class was full of learning today. We reviewed our oral vocabulary words, oo words, and our sight words. We practiced reading and spelling words with inflected endings where the final letter is doubled. Then we worked on our fluency and comprehension skills. We partner read a story in our decodable reader booklets and read our story From Cow to You. We enjoyed hearing about how milk goes from cows to stores. This afternoon we wrote a narrative paragraph and practiced writing the contractions for not. 

Math class brought on new learning too. Today we began our learning of the doubles plus one facts. We used linking cubes to help us solve the answers to these problems. Tomorrow we will be learning the strategy of how to solve these problems. 

Just a reminder that tomorrow is Gym class.
