"It's Time to go home already?"

"It's time to go home already?" This is what one student said when we started to get packed up to go home. I love when the day flies right by and it seems like it never started. We were busy learning and working and having fun. That is what first grade is all about! 

Our day started with some special visitors from Penn State. They came and talked to us about pests and how to manage them. They also talked to us about Mr. Yuck stickers. The students were excited to get their own Mr. Yuck stickers today to use at home. 

Language Arts was one busy class today. We practiced using our oral vocabulary words and reading long e words. We used our letter tiles to spell and read these words. We then learned how to read words with prefixes; we also talked about the meaning of the prefixes re-, un-, and pre-. Next we practiced using our sight words and vocabulary words in sentences. This afternoon we reread A Team of Fish and wrote about the main idea and key details in the story; we also read our decodable reader. To finish the day, we worked in literacy centers. 

In Math class today we learned how to identify how many more on a graph. We made a class graph on the number of children in our families and then talked about the graph. 

Just a reminder that tomorrow will be our first gym class in the new gym. The students MUST have sneakers to participate. 

Have a wonderful night and stay safe!
