Greetings! I hope everyone had a spectacular Friday just like we did in first grade. We are learning our routines and settling in. We are working at paying attention and being good friends.
We began our day with Religion. We will spend the first few days talking about being good friends and what that means. Today we read a Bad Case of Tattle Tongue and talked about when to tell and when not. We all agreed that a good friend does not tattle.
To begin the year in Language Arts, we spend about a week reviewing skills learned in kindergarten. Today we reviewed the letters m, s, a, p, and t. We also reviewed some of the sight words learned (I, like, do, to, you, he, can). We practiced identifying rhyming words in poems and answered questions after reading a story.
In Penmanship class, we practiced writing the numbers 1, 4, and 5.
In Math class, we worked with the numbers 1-10. The students were put into groups. Each group was given a bag with blocks inside. They put the blocks on a ten frame and then colored their ten frame to match the number of blocks. We then worked together to order the ten frames from 1-10. They did great with this!
We begin Science class by studying animals. Today we sorted animals into various groups. We did big/small, fly/don't fly, and swim/don't swim.
Finally, it was time for Art. Today we made a caterpillar. On each circle of our caterpillar, we wrote a letter of our name. We glued to caterpillar on a giant leaf. They look awesome. I can't wait to display them in the hallway!
Have a wonderful weekend!
