Greetings on this second day of first grade. And, just like on the first day, the second day was full of fun, excitement, and learning.
We began our day with Religion class. Today we talked about making good choices. We identified good choices and bad choices we make. We sorted pictures based on whether they were a good choice or a bad choice. We also talked about talking to Jesus when we aren't sure what choice to make.
During the first few weeks in first grade, we will be spending time reviewing material covered in kindergarten in Language Arts. Today we practiced identifying the beginning and ending sounds in words, the sounds for the letters m and s, and reviewed the sight words I and like. I was quite impressed with what they remembered.
After our review, we got to know our classmates a little better. We created a banner that illustrated our likes including favorite animal, color, and food. They are displayed in the hallway for all to see.
In Math class today, we reviewed the numbers 1-10. The students were each given a card with dots on it. They had to count the dots and show that number on a ten frame. We then arranged the numbers in order. Again, they did a great job with that.
Next, we spent time talking about germs and the importance of washing our hands. The students colored germs and a handprint. They then spread the germs on the handprint and used "soap" to scrub them away.
Unfortunately, we were not able to use our tablets today because of Internet problems. I know they were disappointed but we will try to use them tomorrow.
Have a great night!
