A Typical Tuesday!

Greetings! Happy Tuesday! Today was a good day in first grade. 

We began our day with Religion class. Today we read the story about Jesus calming the stormy water and how his disciples came to believe that he is the Son of God. 

We began Language Arts class by working in our literacy centers. Then we jumped into our week of learning. We reviewed the oral vocabulary words from yesterday and learned three new words (calendar, weekend, and occasion). Next we worked on making predictions as we read a nonfiction story about things we use to tell time. After that we used our letter tiles to spell and read long a words. Following that we learned how to spell and read contractions for not; the students remembered the contractions for is so this came quite easy to them. Next we practiced using our sight words in sentences. We wrapped up the morning by rereading Nate the Snake is Late and writing details about what happened in the beginning, middle, and end of the story. 

This afternoon in Language Arts we read our decodable reader and sequenced events in that story. We then practiced using action verbs in sentences. 

In Math class we continued our study of ordinal position. Today we worked with the terms before, after, between, left, right, and next to. The trick for us is to tell the difference between left and right. 

Have a great night!
