Happy beginning of spring break!!! I hope that everyone has a very fun and enjoyable spring break spending lots of time with family and friends.
This week was another short week, but another action packed week in first grade.
Reading: This week we continued learning about Folk Tales. We learned that Folk Tales are from every country in the world and they usually teach a lesson that we can learn. This week we read two Japanese Folk Tales: The Boys of the Three Year Nap and Momotaro. The students enjoyed both of those books and were able to find the problem and the solution in both of those stories,
Writing: We continued writing poetry this week. We wrote Question poems, Shape poems, and a love poem about chocolate! The students did amazing!
Math: We are getting into some hard concepts in math but the students are doing great! We learned how to make change this week using the American money. We played the money again, but this time, the students had to make change!
Bible: We finished the amazing story of Jesus’ last days on earth. We heard the heartbreaking story of his death on the cross, the amazing story of how he came back to life, and the hopeful story about how he return to heaven and will come back for us someday! WOW! What an amazing God who loves us SO much to send his son to die for us!
Reading Emphasis: This week the theme is Sports/Outdoor. Continue to send in your pictures! Next week during Spring Break, the theme will be Animals!
Remember - No school for one week. School will start back again on April 13th. I know some families will be traveling so please stay safe. I will also be traveling to Europe to see my best friend from college! I am so excited but I will miss my first graders while I am away. See you on April 13th!
