Greetings! Welcome back after that three day weekend. I was not expecting to be off on Friday; I do hope you were able to relax and find some fun things to do. We had an awesome day in first grade!
We began our day with Religion class. Today we wrapped up our chapter on Jesus giving us the sacraments. Tomorrow we will begin looking closer at the sacrament of Baptism.
Language Arts was full of learning. We began by wrapping up what we learned last week. We used our oral vocabulary words in sentences, read long i words, spelled words with inflected endings when the y is changed to an i, and took our weekly assessment.
Then we began a new week of learning. We learned our five new oral vocabulary words. Next we practiced visualizing as we read a fiction story about a dog trainer in China. Then we learned how to blend and read long e words spelled ey or y. After that we learned our new sight words and vocabulary words. After all of that we put our skills to the test. We read a nonfiction piece titled From Puppy to Guide Dog. Finally, we finished our paragraph we started last week on why we love recess.
To end our morning, we actually did Friday's art project. I had everything ready to go and couldn't see putting it away. So, we made a Cat in the Hat in honor of Dr. Seuss' birthday.
This afternoon in Language Arts, we learned about adverbs that tell when and practiced finding them in sentences. We then worked in our literacy centers to build our fluency and comprehension skills.
In Math class today we learned how to subtract with regrouping. That is when we trade a ten for ten ones. The students did well with this. We will continue to practice tomorrow.
In honor of Dr. Seuss, we will be celebrating his life and books all week. Each day we will read one of his stories and complete an activity that correlates to the book. Today we read The Sneetches. After reading we talked about how each one of us is special and wrote about something special we can do.
Enjoy your night!
