Tuesday in Mrs. Bognetti's Class

This morning we discussed words with -ear and highlighted them in a poem. We completed a workbook page together. Then, we cut apart letters to make our spelling words. Use the letters at home to practice! The students started their spelling homework, but need to finish tonight and bring it back tomorrow. Then, we made a web about different ways we can help out (at home, at school, etc.). We introduced the vocabulary words and used a Power Point to understand the meanings of the words. The students need to draw a picture showing what each word means for homework tonight. We then went over the purpose of finding the main idea. Then, we read the story Helping Out. The story is a photo essay and is non-fiction. After we looked at the pictures and discussed the text, we completed our DLP and a workbook page on nouns. We completed one round of centers. In Social Studies today, we read about Benjamin Banneker and how he helped design our nation's capitol. Then, we started reviewing for our Social Studies test that will take place tomorrow. A note is being sent home about the pages and words to review. The students also need to study their Illinois Booklets. In addition, I also gave the students two worksheets for homework: one sheet covers the vocabulary words, the other reviews North America. In math today, we talked about logical reasoning. We used clues to figure out the answers to story problems. The students had a chance to work on it with a partner in class and will finish for homework tonight.
