Rudolph in the Snow!

 Greetings! Happy Friday! I hope everyone had a fantastic day to end the work week. We had lots of fun in first grade today. 

At Mass, we celebrated the feast of the Immaculate Conception. Fr. Brian talked to us about how God chose her to be the mother of her Son. We know Mary as our Mother and need to have a special devotion to her. 

We wrapped up another week of learning in Language Arts. We used our oral vocabulary words in sentences, wrote sentences using out sight words, and took our weekly assessment. To practice our fluency with long i words and plurals, we played BINGO. 

In Math class today, our focused switched to subtraction as we began to learn subtraction strategies to help us solve problems to 20. Today, we counted back to find the answer. 

In Science class, we continued our discussion on light. We reviewed the terms transparent, translucent, and opaque; the students sorted objects based on whether light easily passes through them, somewhat passes through them, or cannot pass through them. We then talked about what it would be like if there was no light. The students tried to read messages written in a dark box. As you guessed, it was a challenge to do so. Light makes it so much easier. 

We ended our day with Art class. Today we made a Rudolph in the snow. I'll post pictures on Monday. 

Have a wonderful weekend!
