Greetings! Today was a good day in first grade. It was hard to get going this morning especially after leaving early yesterday, but once we got going we did not stop.
In Religion class today we talked about how God wants us to forgive others. We agreed that this is not always easy and that we need to pray to God to ask him to help us do this. One way we talked about showing forgiveness is to do something nice for someone. So, today that is what we did. Each student picked another student's name and drew that person a picture. The students really enjoyed receiving a special picture from a friend.
Language Arts was busy as usual. We reviewed our oral vocabulary words. Then we practiced reading words with the diphthongs oi and oy and final stable syllable words. We then reviewed our sight words and vocabualry words. Following that we partner read a story in our decodable reader booklets before reading our literature anthology story. Today we read a nonfiction story titled Building Bridges where we learned about unique bridges all over the world. Our favorite one is the Rolling Bridge in London. Following reading the story we completed pages in our close reading companion. We ended the morning by reviewing prepositions and practiced using them in sentences.
For Gym today we practiced our bowling skills. The students worked together to arrange the pins and knock them down. There was lots of cheering going on.
We began a new chapter in Math today. Our focus will be on the numbers to 120. Today we used base ten blocks to identify various numbers. The students were great at this.
We ended our day with Social Studies. Today we reviewed everything we learned about economics.
Have a good night!
