Creative Learners!

Greetings! Happy Thursday! I hope everyone had a fantastic day. We had a great day of learning in first grade. 

We began our day with Religion. Today we created an Easter scene. The students added a picture of Risen Jesus near the empty tomb. I just loved seeing their creativity. Here is an example: 


We began Language Arts by reviewing our oral vocabulary words. Then we read r-controlled -or words. After that we practiced writing abbreviations for words. We then reviewed our sight words by using them in sentences and our vocabulary words by placing Safe Cracker on the computer. We then switched our focus to building our fluency and comprehension. We partner read a story in our decodable reader booklets and partner read Thomas Edison, Inventor. Following that we read two poems and completed pages in our close reading companion. We wrapped up class by reviewing adjectives that compare; we practiced using them in sentences. 

Gym class was another success today. For today's class, the students participated in relay races. They had to run, skip, hop, and walk in a zig-zag formation the length of the gym. Our hearts sure got a workout today. 

We did several things in Math class today. We first used our critical thinking skills to solve problems. We then reviewed concepts related to the calendar and to telling time. 

Here are some pictures from some of the Easter activities we did last week and this week. Enjoy! 


Tomorrow will be a busy day in first grade. We have Mass, Library, and Art!
