Friday Firsts!

Greetings! Happy Friday! Today was a day of many firsts in First Grade. 

We began our day by going to Mass. Today, Fr. Brian talked to us about the Sacred Heart of Jesus. He encouraged all of us to have a picture of the Sacred Heart in our house.  

We wrapped up our first week of learning in Language Arts. We used our oral vocabulary words in sentences, read short a words and words with the inflectional ending -s. We also wrote sentences using our sight words. Finally, we took our first reading test. After lunch we took our Spelling test. 

In Math class today we began our study of number bonds. We used our linking cubes to show two parts and then pushed those two parts together to make the whole. We ended class by solving a number bond problem without our linking cubes. Many were able to see that we add to find the whole. 

In Science class we talked about all of the different coverings animals have. We named animals that fell into each category. We then completed a Seesaw activity where students grouped animals by their covering. 

Finally, it was time for Art class. Today we painted for the first time. We made owls by sponge painting them. I will post pictures of them once they are dried. 

Just a reminder that there is no school on Monday. Have a great and safe Labor Day weekend!
