Happy Friday everyone!

We had a fantastic day today. The grade 1 students proved themselves to be very respectful and responsible during morning Mass. I was very proud of their excellent behavior.

We played some learning games this morning to practice reading and spelling our words in preparation for Monday's second spelling test. We had a lot of fun challenging each other and cheering one another on.

Friday Homework:

Math

Because students missed out on yesterday's math class due to the weather and subsequent school cancellations we made up our class this afternoon. We spent a lot of time using manipulatives (blocks) to practice fewer, more, and same concepts. 

For homework, students are asked to complete page 5 of their Math Workbook. I had them write out a list of math vocabulary words and group them together to help them with their understanding while they do their homework over the weekend. The notes should be on a blue post it note and look similar to this:

less               more

fewer         bigger 

smaller            greater

Social Studies

Using page 14-17 of Horizons About My World, fill in the vocabulary words on page 5 of Horizons About My World Activity Book to answer what job each person has in the pictures. Please be sure to copy carefully from the textbook and print neatly.

Spelling

Students will have their second spelling test on Monday September 2. Please have them write their words and practice reading them out.
