Fun with Shapes!

 Greetings! Happy Thursday! Today was a celebration in first grade as we celebrated being drug free. The students loved wearing a holiday shirt today!

In Religion class we prayed the fourth and fifth decades of the Glorious Mysteries. As we come to the end of October and the month of the rosary, we are reminded to pray the rosary at home. 

In Language Arts class, we reviewed our sight words. Then we read At A Pond, a nonfiction piece about animals at a pond. After reading the story, we wrote about its main idea and key details. Finally, we practiced writing possessive pronouns correctly. 

In Math class today, we used our flat shapes to make designs. Afterwards, the students identified the number of each shape used. Here are some of our designs: 

In Social Studies class, we talked about why people move: to be close to family or to get a job. 

We ended the day with pumpkin fun. Today, we carved a pumpkin in preparation for our Halloween party tomorrow. The students helped clean out the seeds. Together we decided on the eyes, nose, and mouth. All watched in excitement as I carved it. We are ready for tomorrow! 

Have a tremendous night!
