Tuesday in Mrs. Bognetti's Class

This morning I read several books by Kevin Henkes to the class. They really enjoyed hearing the stories and enjoying the humor within. We made lists of words with -at and -ate in them. We added some to our Quick Words. We used letters to make some of our spelling words. Then, the students started their spelling worksheet, but need to finish it for homework. Today we introduced the vocabulary words. I could tell who had studied over the weekend! We cut apart vocabulary cards to be used at home, too. They are in a baggie with their spelling letters. We watched a Power Point presentation and completed a workbook pages using those words. Then, we talked about characters' feelings in stories. As we read Wilson Sat Alone, we tried to think about how he felt being left out. After the story we completed DLP. The students have one worksheet of English for homework. They need to distinguish between subjects and predicates. We also did two centers. In Social Studies, we started our Illinois Booklets. We read some interesting trivia facts about Illinois, looked at a map of Illinois and started an Illinois word search. This afternoon, we used what we know about addition and subtraction to solve story problems. We finished the math worksheet with partners. Then, we played a game to review our math facts. The students need to complete the review for the test workbook page for homework. There will be a test tomorrow. The students were too excited to go to art at the end of the day, as this was their first time using watercolors!
