Welcome March!

Greetings! Happy March! It is hard to believe that another new month is upon us. Today was another great day of learning in first grade. 

In Religion class, we reviewed the seven sacraments. To help us remember them, we created a cross with a symbol for each sacrament on it. They will be coming home tomorrow. 

Language Arts class was full of learning. We began by reviewing how to use see and saw in sentences. Then we answered questions using our oral vocabulary words, read long i words, spelled word with inflected endings when the y is changed to an i, and read the word wall. After that we partner read a story in our decodable reader booklets as well as Hi! Fly Guy. We finished the morning by reading a nonfiction piece about insects and completing pages in our close reading companion. 

Gym class was another success today. Today we practiced dribbling basketballs. We started by standing in place; then we walked the length of the floor before running and dribbling. We ended by practicing running and dribbling and see which team was faster. They sure do love basketball! 

Our focus in Math class today switched from addition to subtraction. Today we learned how to subtract two digit number without regrouping. The key is to remember to count back when solving these problems. 

We ended today with a special Science class. In honor of Dr. Seuss we read Bartholomew and the Oobleck. We then got to touch Oobleck. They loved getting messy! 

Tomorrow is going to be busy. Get some sleep!
