First grade is learning many exciting things. We are finishing up our 3rd unit in language arts and we just finished a chapter in math. We are excited to move on to new ideas. We are also preparing for the season of Lent. The class has decided to work together to better ourselves this Lenten season. We have challenged our self to talking less in school, making cards and crafts for people in need, and adding extra prayter time to our school day. Please encourage your child to work for the Lenten ideas of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.
Here are some things we are working on in class:
Reading/Language Arts: er and est comparative endings; -dge
Math: counting money
Handwriting: h, v, y, w
Religion: Lent
Social Studies: Presidents
