Happy 2025! I hope you all had a wonderful Winter break celebrating the holidays with your families. This week in 1st Grade students were so excited to share about their break. We talked about some goals for the New Year, and learned about some traditions passed down from different cultures. In Math we finished Topic 4, using different strategies to subtract and solving word problems by paying close attention to key words, such as "in all" and "how many more" to help us decide when to use addition and when to use subtraction. In ELA we continued reading words with long vowel sounds, answered comprehension questions from stories in our "Gran" reader, and acted out phrases that include some of our Tricky Words. In Science we learned about the states of Matter, and conducted an experiment to see what happens when we leave liquid outside when the temperature is below freezing to create our own popsicles!! In Religion we reviewed everything we have learned so far in Unit 1, prior to discussing the season of Advent in preparation for the birth of Jesus on Christmas. We learned about the church year, and talked about how we celebrate the life and teachings of Jesus during Ordinary Time.
Sincerely,
Ms. Celenza
