Ghost Writing!

 Greetings! Happy Wednesday! We had a great day of learning in first grade! 

In Religion class we wrapped up our chapter on Adam and Eve by reviewing who created them, where they lived, and what God gave them. We also prayed the third decade of the Sorrowful Mysteries. 

In Language Arts class, we reviewed our oral vocabulary words, practiced reading short u words and our sight words, and spelled and read words with the contraction for is. To help build our fluency and comprehension, we partner read a story in our decodable reader booklets. We also read The Pigs, the Wolf, and the Mud. After reading this story, we wrote about the characters, setting, and events. 

This afternoon in Language Arts, we practiced writing contractions. We also did some Halloween writing. We listened to the story A Ghost's Dinner, a fantasy story where the ghosts turned into what they ate. We then created a ghost to look like some type of food. We will be finishing the writing tomorrow. 

In Math class, we began our chapter on shapes. We identified the number of sides and corners in triangles, squares, rectangles, circles, and trapezoids. We then sorted shapes by color, shape, and size. 

Just a reminder that our Spelling test is tomorrow. Have a great night!
