Monday--Miss Calderone's class

Today we started our day out with Music followed by P.E. When we came back we began literacy. We corrected our DLP and shared what we wrote in our journals. We then learned our new chunk -ear which makes "er" sound. We read a poem and found words with the -ear chunk and then took our spelling pretest. After correcting the words, we reviewed nouns. We moved on a bit to learn about the words singular and plural and then thought of singular and plural nouns. We finished the morning discussing the new centers and completing one. After lunch we came back, got our folders ready, and began math. In math we reviewed ordinal numbers by writing them, and then learned about even and odd numbers. I said a number and the students used cubes to separate into groups. If the groups were the same, the number was even. If the groups were not the same, then the number was odd. We also learned that even numbers end in 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8. Odd numbers end in 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9. We finished math by completing some workbook pages together. After math we had science. We finished reading the chapter and reviewed the stages of a butterfly's life cycle. We labeled a life cycle sheet and began to work on page 47 and 48. Many did not finish so it is homework. Our day ended with Media Center.

The homework for tonight is to complete math 6-5 and science pg. 47/48. Also sign your child's reading test and check out their book orders. If you would like to order books, please have the order form and money sent to class by this Friday. Thanks!
