Thursday--Miss Calderone's class

Today we began our day writing a paragraph about anything we wanted to in our October journal. After sharing a couple paragraphs, we wrote our second grade writing prompt for the first trimester. We then got a new Time for Kids. We read the article together, and then worked in partners to complete a comprehension sheet. It was a bit challenging, but it really forced the students to look back in the text, which is something we all need to work on. After correcting that, we finished our morning with centers. We only got to two centers, so we finished the last one after lunch. We then read Harry Potter for a bit and jumped right into math. We reviewed estimation and prediction, and then completed some workbook pages together. After that we watched a really neat animal adaptation movie in science. It reviewed what animals need to live and how they change to fit their environment. Our day ended with P.E.

The mid-trimester report went home today along with a sheet explaining the report and honor roll. Please make sure you read it. After discussing the mid-trimester report with your child, please sign it and bring it back to school. That is the only homework, but as always, your child should be reading and practicing math fact daily. Thank you so much for your support!
