Tuesday--Miss Calderone's class

Our day started with a story about a sunflower. We reviewed how seeds travel and then began our DLP (Daily Language Practice). Most mornings we’ll complete a couple sentences in our DLP; it requires that the students correct and re-write sentences. After our DLP we wrote a bit in our journals and some students shared what they wrote. After that we reviewed the vocabulary for the story. We got together in partners and completed a sheet which we later corrected together. The next topic on our agenda was main idea and detail. We learned what the purpose of a main idea is and the job of the detail sentences. We then finished the morning with 2 centers. After lunch we came back and immediately began math. We learned about sum and difference and some students shared the number sentences that they thought of. We had to finish math later because we had Art today. When we came back, we finished math and had science to end the day. We reviewed what we learned yesterday, and learned about the jobs of different plant parts today.

The homework for tonight is to read The Mixed Up Chameleon, math 1-3, and science pg. 7 and 8.
