Happy New Year!

 Greetings! Happy New Year! 2026 is off to a great start in first grade. 

In Religion class, we reviewed the Christmas story and focused on the wise men. We reviewed how they brought Jesus gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. 

We began a new week of learning in Language Arts; this week we are reading about life long ago. We began by learning two new oral vocabulary words (century and past). Then, we worked on retelling as we read The Last Train. Next, we learned how to blend and read long o, long u, and long e words. Following that, we practiced our new sight words (ago, boy, girl, how, old, people). We ended the morning by reading Life Long Ago which helped us practice using our new phonics skills and sight words. 

This afternoon we learned when to use the verbs is and are in sentences. We also wrote about goals we have for 2026. 

In Math class, we began our chapter on the numbers to 120. Today, we reviewed concepts we learned with the numbers to 20 like comparing numbers, ordering numbers, and counting. 

Have a great night!
