Friday--Miss Calderone's class

Today we started with a story that we didn’t finish yesterday. We then worked on phonics and read one more story. We used white boards to write words with new chunks and then listened to a short story called “Only a Toad”. We learned the new chunks for our spelling list next week and had our first spelling pre-test. It looked like everybody did a great job! We finished our morning by previewing The Mixed Up Chameleon. After lunch we came back and read another story about a mixed up alphabet! The students really like it! We then began our first math unit: numbers. We colored an aquarium and counted the number of fish in it. There were lots of big, bold and beautiful pictures! After that we completed a math workbook page together and then celebrated a birthday! We had yummy cupcakes and drinks. Today was our first day of music as well. When we came back, we completed a handprint that included some facts about us.

Please check out the assignment sheet! Over the weekend math 1.1 is homework. Please be aware that homework is very important and teaches responsibility; if a student forgets to bring his/her homework, his/her name will be moved down to Slytherin and not moved up until the homework is brought in. Have a great weekend!
