Amazing Learners!

Greetings! Happy Wednesday! Today was such a productive day in first grade. We learned so much. As I sit typing this, I am amazed at all we did today! 

We wrapped up our chapter about forgiveness today. We reviewed the story of the Forgiving Father and discussed ways to forgive others. The students then drew a picture showing forgiveness. 

We began Language Arts with a review. We practiced using our oral vocabulary words in sentences, and we read words with the diphthong ou and ow and with inflectional endings -er and -est. We then used our sight words and vocabulary words in sentences. After all that reviewing, we switched gears to reading. Today we read Whistle for Willie about a boy determined to learn how to whistle. After that we completed some pages in our close reading companion. This afternoon we reviewed and practiced using a, an, this, and that in sentences. 

We learned even more addition facts in Math class today. Today we focused on four oddball facts: 5+3, 6+3, 7+4, and 7+5. We used our linking cubes to help us find the answers to these problems before completing our own fact cards. 

Just a reminder that tomorrow is Gym day!
