Welcome to May!

Greetings! Welcome to May in first grade. It is going to be one busy month full of learning and fun before school lets out. Today was no exception. 

In Religion class today we talked about ways we participate in Mass. We said that when we pray, sing, and listen we are participating at Mass. 

Language Arts was an action-packed class today. We wrapped up another week of learning. We used our oral vocabulary words in sentences, wrote and read words with vowels au and aw, read vowel team syllable words, and wrote sentences using our sight words. Then it was time to read. We partner read a story from our decodable readers, partner read Meet Rosina, and read a poem. Finally, we practiced using possessive pronouns in sentences. This afternoon we learned what a persuasive paragraph is and wrote the topic sentence for our paragraph on why we love camping. 

Subtraction was the focus in Math class today. Today we learned how to subtract 10 from a number. The students had no troubles with this concept. 

Tomorrow will be just as busy.
