Place Value Fun!

 Greetings! Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone had a terrific day. We had a great start to our week in first grade. 

We began our day by going to Adoration and spending some quiet time with Jesus. 

In Language Arts, we continued with our week of learning. We reviewed the oral vocabulary words we learned last Thursday and then learned three new words (separate, model, and height). Then we worked on retelling as we read a nonfiction piece about different maps. Following that, we used our letter tiles to spell and read words with the digraphs ch, tch, wh, and ph. Next, we learned about the inflectional ending -es; we learned that we use this ending to make a word plural when it ends in ch, tch, sh, z, x, or ss. After that, we practiced using our sight words in sentences. We ended the morning focusing on comprehension; this week we are talking about main topic and key details. We reread Which Way on the Map and wrote about its main idea and details from the story. We did the same as we read our decodable reader. 

This afternoon in Language Arts, we reviewed irregular plurals. We also started our Thanksgiving unit. Today, we watched a short video about the voyage of the Mayflower. 

In Math class today, we learned about place value. We used our place value blocks to show various numbers to 20. 

Have a terrific night!
