Fabulous Fourth Day!

Greetings! I hope everyone had a fabulous day! We sure did in first grade! There is always so much to do in a day. 

In Religion class today we talked about what we can do to be good friends. We then wrote an example of what we can do to be good friends. 

In Language Arts, we reviewed the letters d, h, o, and e. We also practiced reading the words my, look, little, where, here, play, the, we. In addition we identified the beginning and ending sounds in words, segmented syllables, and blended phonemes (sounds) together. Finally, we worked on our comprehension skills as we read a fiction story ("Jack and the Beanstalk"), a poem about a rain forest, and a nonfiction piece about climates around the world. 

This afternoon in Language Arts we wrote about what we would like to learn this year in first grade. We will be adding our writing to a craft project tomorrow. 

In Penmanship class today we practiced writing the numbers 0, 6, 8, and 9. 

In Math class today we talked about the terms same, more, and fewer. We used lines of students to demonstrate the meaning of these words. Then we created a graph. One line was socks and the other line was shoes. We talked about which had more and which had fewer. 

Just a reminder that tomorrow is Gym day. Wear your sneakers to school!
