Thursday in Mrs.Bognetti's Room

We worked hard today! This morning we finished our "lost pet" posters. We shared a few of them and they were quite good! The children were very creative. Then, we reviewed longer words with -ear. We broke them into syllables. The students have one page of spelling homework. We had a lengthy discussion today on the main idea of a paragraph. We analyzed several different paragraphs and voted for the best choice. The students really started to catch on! After we completed the DLP, we did three centers today. Before lunch, we got together with our 4th grade Book Buddies and read. It was fun! In math today, we started using coins and learning their values. All of the children need to practice, practice, practice using money! Let them count the change in your purse or pocket! Let them pay when you get to the cash register! It is so important that the children actually USE the money. Be prepared to give your child some coins to practice with and use on to complete his/her homework. There is one page for today. After math, we took our science test. At the end of the day, the children went to Music class. Don't forget there is a spelling and reading test tomorrow!
