Monday in Mrs. Bognetti's Room

This morning after gym and art, we talked about r-controlled words with ear (earn, learn, heard, etc.). We completed a workbook page in class and introduced our spelling words having the same pattern. We alphabetized some words to put on our word wall. We completed another workbook page, using our spelling words. Then, we did our DLP for today. We talked about colorful words (adjectives) and how they make our writing more interesting. We also introduced the concept of plural nouns (adding -s or -es). Then, we completed one center. This afternoon, we learned about odd and even numbers in math. We recognized patterns (0, 2, 4, 6, 8 are even...1, 3, 5, 7, 9 are odd). We sang a song to help us remember the patterns. We also used manipulatives to help visualize every cube either having a partner, or not. The students have one page of math homework. In the computer lab, we watched a BrainPop video on the 7 continents. Then, in class, we completed a worksheet about the 7 continents. We reviewed our neighbor to the north (Canada) and south (Mexico). The students have a worksheet on following directions to complete for homework. They will have to color the flags of Mexico and Canada.
