Greetings! Happy Wednesday! Today was a great day of learning in first grade!
In Religion class, we began our study of Lent. We learned that Lent lasts for 40 days and that it is a time to grow closer to Jesus and become more like Jesus. We also talked about praying, fasting, and helping in Lent.
In Language Arts class, we reviewed our oral vocabulary words, practiced reading long e words and compound words, and reviewed our sight words and vocabulary words. To help us build our fluency and comprehension, we partner read a story from our decodable reader booklets. We also read Koko and Penny, a nonfiction story about a woman working with a gorilla. The children were amazed at what Koko could do. After reading that story, we completed pages in our Reading/Writing Companion that focused on sequencing the order of which Koko learned things.
This afternoon in Language Arts, we practiced using adverbs that tell when in sentences. We also began preparing to write our very own how-to paper. We brainstormed a list of things we know how to do. Then, we picked the topic we liked best and illustrated the steps in that process. Tomorrow we will write our paper!
In Math class today, we continued to practice solving word problems. We did better at listening to the word problem first which helped us decide whether we needed to add or subtract.
Have a great night!
