Greetings! Happy Spring! It is hard to believe that we had yet another snow storm, but it is western Pennsylvania. All things considered, snow isn't that bad.
In Religion class today we learned that Jesus calls us to be peacemakers. We are peacemakers when we are kind, helpful, and caring towards others. We all agreed to try to be peacemakers.
Language Arts was full of learning. We reviewed the oral vocabulary words we learned on Monday and answered questions using those words. We also reviewed r-controlled er, ir, ur, and or words; we used our letter tiles to spell and read words. Next we learned about the inflectional ending -er; when added to a verb, it changes the word to a noun. After that we practiced using our sight words and vocabulary words in sentences. Then it was time to apply all that we reviewed. We reread A Bird Named Fern and wrote cause and effect examples from the story. We also read our decodable reader. We ended the morning by reviewing adjectives.
In Math class today we took our test on addition and subtraction. Beginning tomorrow we will be learning about time.
In place of Living Stations today (first grade does not go due to the content), we watched the movie The Proud Tree. This movie follows Rex as he goes from being a boastful tree in the forest to humble as he becomes the tree on which Jesus dies on. It is such a touching movie that reminds us about the events of Holy Week.
We ended our week with Social Studies. Today we learned that people work for money. We also learned that people can work in factories on assembly lines.
Tomorrow will be a busy day. We have Mass, Library, Art, and a whole lot more. Please remember that our Spelling test has been moved to next Tuesday!
Good night!
