The Creation Story!

 Greetings! Happy Thursday! Today was a good day in first grade. The children were filled with lots of excitement. 

In Religion class today, we reviewed the creation story. We created a mobile to help us remember what God created on each day. 

In Language Arts class, we answered questions using our oral vocabulary words, read words with l-blends, plurals, and sight words. To help us build our fluency and comprehension, we partner read a story in our decodable reader booklets. We also read a nonfiction story about caring for pets and then completed pages in our Reading/Writing workshop book that focused on key details. Finally, we practiced identifying statements and questions. 

In Math class today, we practiced solving real world addition problems. The key today was finding the parts in story and then finding the answer. We also began using XtraMath. We will be visiting this website daily to practice our Math facts. 

We ended our day with Social Studies. Today, we learned about community helpers. We read a story and watched a video about various community helpers. We then spent time naming community helpers. 

Have a great night!
