Greetings! Today was quite an exciting day in first grade! We were quite excited to visit the Book Fair, but before we did, we had some work to do. We did go this afternoon. The students were very quick at finding their books. I just love seeing them so excited about reading!
We began our day by going to Adoration. We spent some quiet time praying and talking to God. It is always nice to spend some quiet time with God before beginning our learning.
In Language Arts, we reviewed our oral vocabulary words, read words with the vowel variant /u/, and sorted words based on their suffix. Then we practiced reading our sight words. The students worked in groups to do this today. Each group was given a cube with sight words on it. They had to rule the cube and then use the word they rolled in a sentence. They loved that! We ended our morning by partner reading a story from our decodable reader.
This afternoon we partner read Click Clack Moo. We then read a nonfiction piece about how people worked together to change unfair laws. Finally, we completed pages in our close reading companion.
In Math class today we used our critical thinking skills to solve problems. I was amazed at how the children could explain their answers to me. They really love Math!
Have a great night!
