Crazy Hair Day!

 Greetings! Happy Thursday! It was a crazy good learning day in first grade! 

We began our day by practicing for the All Saints' Day prayer service with our 8th grade friends. We are all ready to go for Monday. After practice, we prayed the fourth decade of the Glorious Mysteries. 

We wrapped up another week of learning in Language Arts. Today, we used our oral vocabulary words in sentences, read words with end blends and words with the inflectional ending -ing, and wrote sentences using our sight words. To help our fluency and comprehension, we partner read a story in our decodable reader booklets. We also read a poem and completed pages in our close reading companion that helped us build comprehension skills when reading poetry. We ended class by taking our weekly assessment and identifying possessive nouns in sentences. 

In Math class today we played detectives. We looked at a number sentence and had to tell whether it was true or false. The students loved doing this and were sad when we finished the lesson. 

For Gym class, we headed outside. It was amazing watching the children run from one end of the parking lot to the other. They have so much energy. 

In Social Studies class, we wrapped our chapter on communities. We will begin our unit on geography next week. 

We ended our day with Halloween fun. We listened to the story Where's My Mummy. Then we wrote about what our moms do when we are scared. We are in the process of creating a mummy. We will finish it tomorrow morning. 

Just a reminder that tomorrow is Halloween. Don't forget your costume!
