Monday in Mrs. Bognetti's Room

This morning after gym and music, we read a story about friendship. Chester's Way by Kevin Henkes shows how two friends have things in common. It also shows how to include others. Then, we discussed words with -at and -ate and introduced the spelling words. As you saw on the list that went home last Friday, the hardest word this week is "appreciate". Study hard! We completed two sentences of DLP and learned about predicates (the telling parts of sentences). We introduced and completed one center. This afternoon in math we worked with fact families. The students had to come up with two addition and two subtraction sentences for 3 numbers in a fact family. They did very well. We completed our workbook pages in class and sang our doubles song. They have one page of math homework to reinforce those fact families. Then, we went to the computer lab and learned about internet safety. In Social Studies, we talked about states and countries. We learned about Illinois' state capital, as well as our nation's. We will begin our "Illinois Booklets" tomorrow. In it, we will learn about the state's bird, tree, flower, etc. Next week in the computer lab, we will research Illinois' governor. Your child is bringing home his/her Math Test, Reading Test and Science Test from last week. You need to sign them all and send them back to school. Thanks for your support!
