Wednesday--Miss Calderone's class

What a fast day! We began with a story and some phonics. We then moved onto completing some sentences in our DLP and writing sentences using the sight words in our journal. After sharing some sentences, we found the new chunks –ame and –ake in long words. Identifying the chunks will help your child become a better reader. The new centers were introduced and then we completed 2. We took a break to have snack and work on our spelling packet, but then went on to finish one more. We finished the morning reading some pages in our social studies book and learning about what a community is. After lunch we read Harry Potter and then learned about an in and out box in math. We used white boards to practice completing an in/out box, got together in partners to finish some math book pages, and then corrected them together. We then had library. When we came back, we checked the status of our Lima beans! It’s been one whole week and we have all kinds of seeds. Some have died and we have one that has already sprouted! It’s unbelievable; ask your child about it! We finished the day putting new paper towel in our bags, and ordering pictures to represent the growth of a seed.

The homework for tonight is to read “Get Up and Go!” and complete math pg. 2-3.
