Celebrating All Saints' Day!

Happy All Saints' Day! Today was a very special day in first grade! 

We began our day with Mass. At Mass, Msgr. Lockard reminded us that we do not need to be afraid in life; we have the saints to help us get through the scary times. 

After Mass, we did do some learning. We began with Math class where we took a Math test on shapes. Tomorrow we will begin learning something new. 

After that, we jumped into Language Arts. We began by learning the difference between common and proper nouns. We then reviewed the oral vocabulary words we learned on Monday and learned three new words today. Next, we worked on rereading as we read a story about a man and his unique library. We followed that up with a review of the digraphs sh, th, and ng. We used our letter tiles to spell and read words. 

This afternoon we dressed up as our patron saint for the annual All Saints' Day prayer service. The students were so proud to dress as these holy men and women. During our prayer service, the eighth grade students did a great job reading about the saints. It truly was a special, faith-filled afternoon. 

Thank you to all of the parents who took the time to assemble the costumes for the students. Without you, this could not have been possible. 

Just a reminder, that because of a special program tomorrow, we will not have Gym class. Have a good night!
