Thursday in Mrs.Bognetti's Room

When the students got here this morning, they finished their thank-you letters from yesterday. Then, we built compound words (star + fish=starfish) and clapped them out by syllables. We completed a workbook page together. The students started their spelling worksheet in class, but need to finish it for homework. After, we talked about narrative elements (characters, setting and plot). Then, we re-read Wilson Sat Alone in groups. Each group was responsible for writing the beginning, middle and end of the story on dry-erase boards. Then, we shared with the rest of the class. We completed two sentences of DLP. Then, we practiced finding predicates (or telling parts of sentences). The students have one page of homework to finish for English. We completed two centers today. Then, we read with our 4th grade Book Buddies. This afternoon, we worked with tens and ones in math. We used an internet site to see a demonstration of how to combine ones and trade them in to make a ten. They have one page of math homework. In science, we read about insects, birds and fish. We took notes and copied a chart that is displayed on the wall. Then, the students started working on the Lessson outline. They need to finish it for homework. Don't forget that there is a reading and spelling test tomorrow. The students were instructed to bring home their reading books for review tonight. Also, remember that tomorrow is Early Dismissal Day. Students are finished at 12 pm.
