Tuesday in Mrs. Bognetti's Class

This morning we were very busy! First, we reviewed abbreviations. We made a list for ourselves to study. We completed a workbook page and I collected the students' spelling worksheets in class. Then, we introduced the vocabulary words for the story this week. Then, we talked about our focus skill for the week: predicting outcomes. While we read Mr. Putter and Tabby Fly the Plane, we stopped to predict what would happen next. We also discussed what happened at the beginning of the story, middle, and end. We love how Tabby's mood changes throughout the story! Then, we completed our DLP. We discussed adding our senses into our writing. We made a sample graphic organizer together about a dog. Tomorrow, we will see how to write those details into a paragraph! At the end of literacy, we reviewed nouns that change when they are made into plurals (goose=geese). Then, we completed two centers. In Social Studies, we read about landforms. We started a Landform Booklet that will help us learn what each landform is and how it looks. After lunch, we learned about quarters and half-dollars in math. We added sets of coins together. I collected ALMOST everybody's homework (those who were pulled out for dental sealants may have homework to finish). At the end of the day, the students went to art. For homework, the students will ask you to sign two tests: Social Studies and Reading. Also, don't forget that the end of the trimester is nearing...students should be turning in their reading logs soon! Some have already gotten a punch on their passport to Hogwarts. Prizes will also be awarded at the end of the trimester. Then, I will send home a new reading log for the second trimester! READ! READ! READ! Book order forms are due on Thursday.
