Tuesday in Mrs. Bognetti's Class

This morning we finished our Theme 1 Test for English. Then, we practiced writing about what we liked best about lunch at Wesley School. Together, we made a 4-square (putting the main idea in the center and then writing three sentences about the main idea, with a feeling sentence at the end). Then, the students had to write it into a paragraph, remembering to indent the first sentence. Mrs. Friedrich and I showed each student where they made errors and the students corrected them. I sent them home in the take home folders. Tomorrow, we will practice again (with less guidance) and they will be timed (for practice). The actual writing test will take place on Thursday and they will have 40 minutes to complete it. Then, we did two centers today. We worked in our Social Studies booklets. We learned about Illinois' motto and state seal. We learned that the state bird is the cardinal. This afternoon, we learned how to write numbers in words. For homework, they must complete their math worksheet and must not have spelling errors! I asked them to take home their workbook page to help them with the spelling! At the end of the day, they went to art class.
