Happy Friday! We had a very eventful day with a visit from 1.2! We got to take a Spelling Test with them and enjoy a video on our Bible story.
This Week:
Reading: This week we focused on Main Idea and Detail. We read a very interesting book called Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. What if our food fell from the sky??? The students did a great job picking out the main idea of the whole story and the details throughout the book. This week, we also had Mrs. Bezner come read to us. She read the book Arlene Sardine. After she left, we tried to find the Main Idea and Detail about that story as well.
Math: We have finished Unit 3 with a test today! The students have now learned how to count money up to dimes, how to read clocks to the half hour, how to skip count and figure out the pattern in a set of numbers. Way to go 1st graders! This week we did a mini unit on data and graphs. Here are some pictures of the students working hard on figuring out the information the graphs give!
Bible: This week we finished the unit on Moses. Moses had disobeyed God so he was not allowed to enter the Promise Land, but right before he died, God let him get a glimpse of Canaan by letting him climb up Mount Nebo. Moses put Joshua in command. Now 40 the 40 years have passed and it is almost time for the Israelites to enter Cannan. Joshua sends 2 spies to look at Jericho. The Israelites cross the Jordan river and head toward to city of Jericho.
Christmas Program Practice - We have started practicing! The students are doing a great job remembering the words and the actions. Starting next week, we will start to have more and more practices for the Christmas Program. Put it on your calendar for December 5th. It will be an amazing performance!
