Friday News
Today was our FIELD TRIP!!!! It was so much fun! We got to see so many different animals and had a blast in the Wonder Museum! The time went by so fast and before we knew it, it was time to say goodbye and head back to school/home.
This week:
Reading - This week we learned all about the different kinds of animals. We learned about mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and birds. We wrote down some characteristics and watched some fun videos on animals.
Math - This week we started learning about fractions! WOW! Fractions in 1st grade? But the students did great! We learned how to say 1/2 1/4 and 1/3 as well as look at the equal parts of a whole. Great job students!
Bible - After learning about the life of Jesus, we jumped back to continue the study in the Old Testament. We picked up with Solomon. We learned the story of how God was so pleased with Solomon that he asked King Solomon for whatever he wanted. Did Solomon ask for money, or to be famous? NO! He asked for a discerning heart to know right and wrong - he asked for wisdom! God was so pleased that he gave him wisdom AND riches AND fame! Wow! Even a Queen from a far away land came to visit him to see if all she had heard was really true.
Chapel - This week in Chapel, we got to hear from Mrs. Perete, one of the office ladies. She is Filipino and along with another lady, they showed us the Filipino folk dance called Tinikling. It is with 2 bamboo sticks and you jump and dance in the middle. Most of the teachers and some students got to try it as well! Here is a video of the teachers trying it.
