Tuesday--Miss Calderone's class

Today our day began as usual completing our DLP and writing in our September journal about what we would do to help another classmate not feel lonely. After sharing, we practiced how to read longer words by finding small words and chunks inside of the longer word. We then independently completed a workbook page that reviewed some of the spelling words. After correcting that, we had our first practice lock-down drill. Everybody did an excellent job of following directions and staying quiet. We then had some time to complete 2 centers. We started Art center today and it went really well! Our morning ended with social studies. We reviewed what an urban community is and then learned about a rural and suburban community. After lunch, we read another fun story that a student brought in, and we also had a student sit in the "Author's Chair" and read her very own story! We actually ran out of time and had to go to art. After art we had math for a bit and reviewed how to make number sentences from number stories. Our day ended with science. We finished discussing classification of animals and filled in the rest of our 'Kinds of Animals' chart. We also got to see an ant farm that a student brought in! It was really neat.

The homework for today is to read Wilson Sat Alone, complete math 4-5, and also complete the Fire Safety paragraph (if you choose).
