Happy New Year! 2017 is off to a great start in first grade. I really enjoyed hearing about all of the exciting things that happened over break. From what I heard, Santa was quite good to everyone!
We began our day by going to Adoration. That was the perfect way to start the new year. We spent some quiet time praying to God and asking him to bless us this new year.
We began a new week in Language Arts. Today we learned two new oral vocabulary words and practiced making predictions as we read Interrupting Chicken. We then spent time learning to blend and read words with soft c and soft g. We sorted words by whether they had a soft c or hard c sound and practiced reading these words in a decodable reader. We finished our morning by working in literacy centers. This afternoon we talked about past and future tense verbs and wrote the first step in building a snowman.
Math class was a bit like Spelling class today. We learned how to spell the number words for the digits 0-10. To help us learn to spell these words, we played a game similar to Hangman. The students worked with a partner and took turns writing a word and drawing lines for each letter in the word. The other student then tried to guess the word. They loved it!
Have a great night!
