Greetings! Welcome to December in First Grade. This is one of my favorite months to spend with the children. I love preparing for the holidays and hearing about their elves. Their excitement is contagious!
We began our day by going to church for Adoration. We spent some quiet time praying to Jesus asking him to help us draw closer to him during Advent.
In Language Arts, we answered questions using our sight words. We also practiced reading long i words and plurals. To help us build our fluency, we partner read a story in our decodable reader. We also read a nonfiction story about plants and sequenced how plants grow. Finally, we practiced using present tense verbs in sentences.
I'm sure the students told you that our classroom elf has returned. His name is Jingles. Each day, we will be writing in a journal describing where Jingles is or what he is doing. Today, he was hanging on the whiteboard.
In Math class today, we continued learning addition strategies. Today, we learned the doubles and doubles plus 1 facts to help us solve addition problems.
Have a great night! Stay warm!
