Phonics - Last week we worked on 2 syllable words (both closed and v-e syllables) that had a suffix s, ed, or ing.  This week we are learning about when a plural has a suffix s vs. es.

Writing - We continued working on cinquain poems.  This week we made personal cinquain poems - poems about ourselves.

Religion - Our new virtues and values for the month of May are orderliness and modesty.

We worked in our Promise books.  We talked about saints.  We learned about the newest saint, Saint Carlos Acutis.  On Thursday we watched live as we found out who our new pope is - Pope Leo IV.  We have been learning about The Shrine and Adele Brise.  We are excited for our field trip!

We loved our field trip to the Farm Wisconsin Discovery Center!

Happy Mother's Day!

The first graders worked so hard on Mother's Day writings all week!  They had lots of choices on what to make for their moms - They chose from cards, waterfall books, cinquain poems, acrostic poems, and fill in the blank stories!

Have a great week!
