Showing Creativity!

Greetings! Today was a busy day in first grade filled with learning and laughter. 

We wrapped up our look at Easter today in Religion class. The students designed their own Easter scene. I just loved their creativity as they did this. Each interpretation is so unique. Here are some examples: 


We began a new week of learning in Language Arts. That meant we learned new oral vocabulary words, sight words, and vocabulary words. We also learned a new phonics skill: how to blend and read words with the vowels oo, u, u_e, ue, ui, ew, and ou. We put our new skills to work as we read a fantasy story called Super Tools. We then switched gears to grammar where we learned about pronouns. We ended the morning by working in our literacy centers. 

Gym class was a lot of fun today. We did a simple relay race that focused on dribbling a basketball. Each team had to run to the center of the gym, grab a basketball, and dribble it back to their team. We had lots of fun doing this. Our faces were quite red by the end of class. 

In Math class today we made a graph showing which vegetables we like. We then wrote observations about our graph. 

Finally it was time for Social Studies. Today we talked about how food gets to market. We paid attention to how oranges go from tree to table. 

Tomorrow will be another busy day in first grade. We have Mass, Library, and Art. The fun awaits!
