Greetings! Happy Thursday (and Friday for the students). We had a busy day in first grade.
In Religion class today we watched a video on the life of St. Patrick. The students learned how St. Patrick became the patron saint of Ireland.
We wrapped up another week of learning in Language Arts. We used our oral vocabulary words in sentences, read r-controlled -ar words, spelled irregular plurals, and wrote sentences using our sight words. We then partner read a story in our decodable reader and A Lost Button, our story from yesterday. We then read a short interactive nonfiction piece where we sorted things in the picture. After all of that fun, we completed pages in our close reading companion. We ended class by taking our weekly assessment and reviewing the words used to join sentences (and, but, or, so, because).
Gym class was another highlight to our day. With several students absent, the remaining students worked on basketball skills, jump roping skills, and hula hoop skills. Everyone had fun.
In Math class today we used our critical thinking skills to solve problems. I loved seeing them working and the wheels turn as we solved the problems.
We ended our week with Social Studies. Today we talked about buying, saving, and trading. We all agreed that it is tough deciding between buying something and saving for something.
Have a wonderful weekend! See you on Monday!
