Awards Day and Stuffed Animal Day!

 Greetings! Happy Thursday! Today was an exciting day in first grade. It was Awards Day and Stuffed Animal Day! 

We began our day with our Awards Program. The students were quite excited to be recognized for all of their hard work. I am so proud of how hard they have worked this year. 

We came back to our classroom and began our day of learning and fun. In Religion class, we learned about Pentecost. We talked about how the Holy Spirit came to the Apostles. 

Then, it was time for some stuffed animal fun! We began by writing about our stuffed friend. We added a page topper to our writing. Next, we became detectives and used our inferencing skills to find out which bear stole the honey. Then, we graphed gummy bears and discussed the data on our graphs. Finally, we colored various patterns. 

In Math class today, we practiced solving real world money problems. This was a great opportunity to review adding and subtracting with and without regrouping. 

In Science class today, we learned about the parts of a plant and why they help a plant survive. 

We ended our day with a special picnic completed with Teddy Grahams, gummy bears, and iced tea. We enjoyed the special treats with all of our friends. 

Have a great night!
