Wednesday--Miss Calderone's class

Our day started with completing our DLP and writing sentences using the word wall words in our September journals. After sharing, we came to the floor to do some phonics. We then re-read Henry and Mudge with a partner. Together, we completed a Venn-Diagram that told us how Henry and Mudge are alike, and how they are different. After that, we reviewed paragraphs. We took a look at some mixed up sentences, found a sentence that didn't belong, found the main idea, and then found the detail sentences. Check out your child's take home folder! We then had our spelling pretest...finally! The students did very well. After literacy we worked hard to finish 3 centers! Our morning ended by answering some questions about a map we found on the Internet. After lunch we reviewed what to do in a severe weather drill. We came back to the class and began math. We started chapter 3, subtraction. We reviewed how to subtract on a number line and completed some math book pages together, with partners, and independently. We were able to actually do two lessons in one day today! After math we went to library. When we came back, we had science. Today marked week two for our lima bean plants. We had lots of changes again, and another plant began growing! We could see the roots, stem, seed, and even a leaf! Awesome! We read some science pages with a partner to finish our day.

The homework for today is to read Henry and Mudge, get your math test signed, and math pg. 3-2.
