Snow Day!

Greetings! Welcome back! I hope everyone enjoyed their snow day on Thursday. As much as I missed the students, I did enjoy my day. I was able to get things done for Christmas. I also hope everyone is having a great weekend. It is hard to believe that we are only one week away from Christmas. 

Friday was such a wonderful day in first grade. We began our day with Mass. Today was our special Christmas Mass. 

In Language Arts we wrapped up another week of learning. We used our oral vocabulary words in sentences, read long i words and plurals, used plural words in sentences, and wrote sentences using our sight words. We then took our weekly assessment and practiced using present-tense verbs in sentences. 

In Math class we solved word problems. We first identified whether it was a some, some more or some, some less problem. We then wrote the number sentence for each problem. The students did very well with this. 

In Science class today we talked about states of matter. We said objects can either be a solid, liquid, or gas. We gave examples of each and then sorted objects based on whether they were a solid, liquid, or gas. 

Finally, it was time for Art class. Today we made a Santa Claus using a paper plate and cotton balls. Here are a few of the finished product: 

Jingles has had fun in our room this week. Here is what he has been up to: 

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
