Greetings on this absolutely beautiful day! It was just the perfect spring day. Days like today make you forget about those cold and windy winter days and appreciate the warmth of the sun.
In Religion class today we talked about how we remember what Jesus said and did at the Last Supper when we celebrate the Eucharist. We also learned that the word Eucharist means to give thanks.
Language Arts was full of learning today. We answered questions using our sights, used our letter tiles to spell and read vowel au words, learned about vowel teams, read our sight words, and used our vocabulary words in sentences. For some of this we used our Smartboard and completed some online activities. Next it was time to read. We reread All Kinds of Helpers and talked about author's purpose. We said that the purpose of this story was to inform us about helpers. We also read our decodable reader. Finally, we practiced using possessive pronouns in sentences.
As you might have guessed, we went outside for Gym class today. The students loved that time in the sun exercising and playing with their friends. It was hard to come back inside.
In Math class today we learned how to identify fractional parts of a set. We used linking cubes to help us. Each student was given ten linking cubes with different colors. From there we learned about fractional sets. For example, one student had 4 out of 10 brown linking cubes. The students did quite well learning this concept.
We ended our day with Social Studies. Today we wrapped up our economics unit.
Tomorrow will be a busy and fun day in first grade!
