Twos-day Celebration!

 Greetings! Happy Twosday (2-22-22). This is a once in a lifetime day. So, you know we had to celebrate it. I'm always looking for a reason to bring more fun to first grade. But, before our celebration, we had some other learning to do. 

In Religion class, we reviewed the story of Jesus multiplying fishes and loaves. We created a giant poster showing how he turned five loaves and two fish into enough food to feed 5,000 people. 

We began Language Arts by working in our small groups. We then began a new week of learning; this week we will be reading about how animals help people. We learned our new oral vocabulary words (career, soothe, remarkable, trust, and advice). We then worked on visualizing as we read about a boy training a dog. After that, we learned how to blend and read long e words spelled -y or -ey. Next, we learned our new sight words and vocabulary words. We ended the morning by reading From Puppy to Guide Dog, a nonfiction story about how a dog becomes a guide dog. 

This afternoon in Language Arts we learned to identify adverbs that tell when in sentences. 

In Math class today, we learned how to add with regrouping. The key for us is to first add the ones. If that number is 10 or more then we need to regroup. We have to be careful not to get into the habit of always regrouping. 

In Spanish class today, we learned the names for window, notebook, door, pen, desk, and paper. 

Finally, it was time for our Twos-day celebration. We created a graph using 22 Fruit Loops. The students spun a spinner 22 times and added a Fruit Loop to their graph after each spin. They then worked in groups to match food pairs together. Finally, we are decorating a 22. We will need to finish that in the morning. 

Here is a picture of our Fruit Loop graph. 

Have a terrific night!
