A Thanksgiving Luncheon!

Greetings! Today was another very exciting day in first grade. The highlight today was our Thanksgiving lunch. I loved seeing their excitement of sharing a Thanksgiving meal with their friends. 

In Religion class today we talked about how Jesus is the Good Shepherd. We call Jesus this because he is always with us and always watches over us. 

In Language Arts class, we reviewed our oral vocabulary words. We then reviewed words with the digraphs ch, tch, wh, and ph as well as words with the inflectional ending -es. To help us with this skill we partner read a story in our decodable reader. After that we reviewed our sight words by using them in sentences. Finally, we talked about the AR program. Together we read Curious George and took an AR test. We saw that this was easy and fun. We will be picking library books tomorrow so that we can all take an AR test. 

In Math class today we talked about place value. We used base ten blocks to show various numbers from 11-20. We do this everyday in our Math Meeting, so the students did great with this skill today. 

We ended our day with Social Studies. We reviewed Pilgrim life by separating things into two categories, things children do today and things Pilgrim children did. We then started to make a Pilgrim but ran out of time. We will finish them tomorrow. 

Unfortunately, our Thanksgiving Luncheon ran long so we did not make it to Gym class. We'll try again in two weeks! 

Stay warm!
