Wacky Wednesday!

 Greetings! Happy Wednesday! We enjoyed a Wacky Wednesday today in first grade. When the students arrived, they found numerous things turned upside down and inside out.

 In Religion class today, we talked about how Jesus heals our souls today through the Sacrament of Penance. We watched the video of Jesus healing the paralyzed man and forgiving his sins.

 In Language Arts class, we reviewed our oral vocabulary words, practiced reading r-controlled –ar words, and identified irregular plurals. We also practiced reading our sight words and our vocabulary words. To help us build our fluency and comprehension, we partner read a story in our decodable reader booklets. We also read A Lost Button, a story involving the classic characters Frog and Toad. After reading that story, we completed pages in our close reading companion that focused on point of view.

 This afternoon in Language Arts we practiced joining sentences using the words and, or, but. We also wrote a persuasive paragraph on why we love the zoo.

 In Math class, we talked about weight and the terms heavier and lighter. We used a balance to weigh different objects to see which was heavier and which was lighter. The students loved this.

 We ended our day with some Wacky Wednesday fun. We read the book and identified all the wacky things in it. We then drew a picture laying on our backs with the paper in the air. The students enjoyed and laughed while drawing.

 Have a wonderful night!
