Today was a great day in first grade. It was one of those days that reminded me why I love teaching. The students were so engaged today and were applying their knowledge and skills all day. It was so great to see them excited about learning.
In Religion today we talked about how Jesus' Apostles came to believe that he was the Son of God. We read the story of Jesus calming the stormy water. We illustrated what the water looked like before and after Jesus calmed the water.
In Language Arts class, we reviewed our oral vocabulary. We then used our sound boxes to segment words into sounds. Following that, we read words with digraphs th, sh, and ng, and closed syllable words. We also practiced reading our sight words. Our focus then switched to reading. We partner read a story in our decodable readers. We also read Nell's Books from our literature anthologies. After reading that story we wrote and illustrated the characters, setting, and events. Finally, we practiced writing proper nouns.
In Math class today we reviewed everything we learned about subtraction. We are ready for our test tomorrow.
In Spanish class we reviewed the greeting phrases we learned last week by creating flash cards.
After working hard all day, it was time for pumpkin fun. Today we carved a pumpkin. Each student was given plastic gloves and helped get the seeds out of the pumpkin. We then worked together to design the face. As I carved the pumpkin, the students wrote the steps in how to carve a pumpkin. We added that to a craft. And here is our pumpkin . . .
Have a great night!
