Hello everyone,

We had a great morning playing learning games to practice our knowledge of adjectives. Afterwards we created a poster for our classroom and each student came up with an adjective which they wrote on the poster and drew a picture to illustrate it. Way to go Grade 1's!

In Phonics we reviewed hard and soft c learned about hard and soft g as well.

Phonics Homework:
Page 95 and 96

Rule: When g is followed by e, i, or, y, it usually has a soft sound. You can hear the soft g sound in giraffe.
*Remember, not ALL words follow this rule. So you need to try to read the word aloud and listen to the sound the g makes. Then write it in the proper column. (for page 96)

This afternoon we had an amazing Social Studies class. We were talking about natural resources and how important it is to conserve them and recycle. The students were SO enthusiastic and interested and they had a ton of fantastic questions and comments. Our class went late and they missed their playtime at the end of the day but they didn't even mind. I actually had to cut them off so they would have time to pack their school bags. I look VERY forward to continuing our discussions later this week.

Have a great night everyone!
