Midweek Marvels!

Greetings! Happy Wednesday! Today was another great day in first grade. The highlight came at recess time as we were able to get outside. The students were able to spend some of the energy they have been saving up this week. 

In Religion class today we wrapped up another chapter. We reviewed how Jesus called his Apostles to follow him, how the Apostles came to believe that Jesus was the Son of God, and how Jesus taught his followers how to pray. 

In Language Arts class, we reviewed our sight words; we practiced using them in sentences. Then we worked on our fluency and comprehension. We reread Which Way on the Map?. After that we wrote about the main idea and key details in the story. Then we read and discussed our decodable reader. Finally, we reviewed irregular plurals. Given a list of words, we sorted them based on whether told about one or more than one. 

We began a new chapter of learning in Math class today. We learned how to count to 20. We did this by grouping objects into sets of 10 and then counting on. The students did an excellent job at counting on to find the total. 

Tomorrow will be quite an exciting day. It is our Thanksgiving Luncheon. It is also Gym day! Excitement will be abound in Room 102!
