Thursday--Miss Calderone's class

Today we started our day by completing some DLP sentences and writing in our journal about our favorite thing about school. After correcting and sharing, we worked on phonics. We practiced clapping out syllables and moved onto compound words. We identified words that were compound words and ones that were not and put them into a t-chart. We then completed a workbook page with a partner and corrected it together. We completed 3 centers, and to end the day, we worked with partners to finish a beginning, middle, and end story map for Wilson Sat Alone. We needed some extra time after lunch to finish, and then shared our answers. We read Harry Potter for a bit before starting math. In math, we discussed how to change groups of tens into ones (1 ten = 10 ones). We practiced skip counting by tens and worked to complete some math book pages independently. After correcting, we started science. We accessed our background knowledge by making a "What animals need" web before reading/discussing some pages in our book. We finished science by completing a worksheet independently and correcting it together. Our day ended with P.E.

The homework for tonight is to finish the spelling packet/study, read Wilson Sat Alone/study, and complete math 5-1.
*****Please remember that tomorrow is a 1/2 day! The students get out at noon.
