First Grade Reading!

 Greetings! Happy Thursday! Today was a busy day in first grade. I hope everyone made it home safely in the rain. 

In Religion class, we talked about how prayer is talking to and listening to God. 

We began our first week of learning in Language Arts; this week we will be reading stories about what we do in school. We began by learning two oral vocabulary words (learn and subjects). We then worked on visualizing as we read This School Year Will Be the Best. Following that, we learned how to blend and read short a words. Finally, we learned our new sight words (does, not, school, what). 

In Math class today, we continued to practice comparing numbers. Pairs of students were given a set of picture cards. Taking turns, one student would select two cards and compare the amount of objects by stating I have more          than           or I have fewer           than           . 

We had our first Social Studies class of the year. Today we talked about our families. We talked about our brothers and sisters, our pets, and what we like to do with our families. 

Have a great night.
