Greetings! Happy Friday! Today was a very exciting day in first grade. It was our annual applesauce day. This has become a tradition to end our week of apple fun. The students waited all week for this.
We began our day by making our applesauce. Together, we added the apples, water, cinnamon, and sugar to our crockpot. We turned it on and let it cook all day while we learned.
After making our applesauce, we headed to Mass. Today, Fr. Brian reminded us that our guardian angels are with us and that St. Michael the Archangel will defend us from evil.
We wrapped up another week of learning in Language Arts. We used our oral vocabulary words in sentences, read short o words, and put words into ABC order. We wrote sentences using our sight words and took our weekly assessment.
In Math class, we switched our focus to subtraction. We will be learning several subtraction strategies. Today, we learned to subtract by taking away. Using our linking cubes, we looked at a problem, identified where to start and how many to take away. When then solved the problem.
Finally, after Math class, it was time to enjoy our applesauce. For those that tasted it, they loved it.
After eating our applesauce, we created a leaf silhouette using strips on scrapbook paper. Here are some final products:
Here are pictures from our Johnny Appleseed craft and apple writing that we did yesterday.
