Happy Friday!
Only 2 more Friday’s left in this school year! We had another great week in first grade!
This week:
Spelling: Our spelling words this week were “Compound Words.” We had so much fun thinking of how two words make up one word. The student all picked a word and drew pictures to show what they mean.
Writing: We are making so much progress on our animal writing project! We have compiled the research, and now we are working on the final draft. The students are such hard-workers and continually make me excited to learn more.
Math: We are finally on the last unit! Almost done! This week we reviewed reading clocks, adding money, greater than less than. We also took our Unit 9 test. Unit 10 started with a fun lesson on Vending Machines! The students go to pick 2 snacks from the vending machine in their book and “buy” them by finding the total amount. We played a game like musical chairs where half of the students walked around the room and when the music stops they had to rock paper scissors with a student and the winner picked two things to buy.
Next week, we might even make our own vending machines… :)

Bible: This week we learned all about Esther! Wow! I just love the story of Esther! God used her as queen of Persia to save all the Jewish people in the land. She could have been killed but she was brave and trusted in God. I know that God has placed each of the students in my classroom for a special reason and I know the students will grow up to do incredible things for God - just like Esther did!
Here’s a fun Esther video:
