Celebrating Johnny Appleseed!

 Greetings! Happy Thursday! Today was another fun day in first grade. 

In Religion class we learned how to pray the rosary. We colored a sheet explaining how to pray the rosary, and then we got our very own rosary to use in school during the month of October. Today, we prayed the first decade of the Joyful Mysteries. We will continue to pray one decade a day during the month of October. 

In Language Arts, we reviewed our oral vocabulary words, practiced reading short o words, and put words into ABC order. We then worked on our fluency as we read a story from our decodable reader booklets. Next, we practiced punctuating sentences with the correct punctuation. Finally, in honor of our apple celebration this week, we wrote about what we like to do with apples. We added our writing to a craft. 

In Math class today, we continued to practice solving real world addition problems. The students are very good at understanding the problem and solving it. Tomorrow we will switch gears and begin to focus on subtraction. 

We ended our day with Social Studies. Today we learned about Johnny Appleseed. We read a tall tell about his life and then wrote 3 facts that we learned about him. We will add our writing to a craft tomorrow. 

Have a great night!
