Learning About Thanksgiving!

Greetings! Happy Tuesday! I hope all is well with you, and you are settling into the week. We had another busy day in first grade. 

In Religion class today we took a look at the meaning of the words in the Our Father. As we prayed each phrase we stopped to reflect on what the words mean. 

In Language Arts class, we reviewed the oral vocabulary words we learned yesterday and learned three new words today (height, model, and separate). We then worked on rereading as we read a nonfiction piece about maps. After that we reviewed the digraphs ch, tch, wh, and ph as we used our letter tiles to spell and read words. Finally, we learned about the inflectional ending -es. We learned that we add this ending to certain words to make them plural. We practiced reading words with this ending and using the words in sentences. 

In Math class today we wrapped up our study of ordinal position by taking our test. 

Then it was time to celebrate Thanksgiving! We began by learning about the Mayflower. We read a story about it and wrote facts that we learned. We added those facts to our handprint that we turned into the Mayflower. Then we learned about the life of a young Pilgrim boy and girl. The students were amazed at all they did. 

Enjoy your night!
