Click Clack Read!

Greetings! Happy Wednesday! I hope everyone is having a great week. We sure enjoyed first grade today. 

In Religion class today we talked about how we remember what Jesus said and did at the Last Supper when we celebrate the sacrament of Eucharist. We talked about how the word eucharist means to give thanks and how when we are at Mass we need to thank God for all that we have. 

Language Arts was full of fun and learning today. We began by reviewing our oral vocabulary words. Next, we practiced reading words with the vowel sound of ue. Then, we practiced reading words with the suffixes -ful and -less; we also practiced adding the suffix to the end of a base word, reading the new word, defining it, and using it in a sentence. Finally we reviewed our sight words and vocabulary words. 

Our focus then switched to reading. We partner read a story in our decodable reader booklets. We then read Click Clack Moo: Cows That Type. The students loved this story. As we read it, they read it so fluently and with excitement. It was so awesome to hear. After reading the story we completed pages in our close reading companion. 

This afternoon we reviewed the grammar rule concerning I; we remembered that I is always capitalized when it is by itself. We then wrote the middle part to our narrative paragraph about recess. 

In Math class today we practiced identifying more and less than a number. The students are doing a great job at counting forwards and backwards without using a chart. 

We ended the day by talking about Earth Day, which was on Sunday. We read The Lorax and talked about ways we can keep the Earth beautiful. We added our writing to a Lorax craft. I'll post pictures of that tomorrow. 

Just a reminder that tomorrow is Gym day!
