Tuesday--Miss Calderone's class

Our day began with a new DLP. After correcting some sentences, we wrote in our journals and shortly after that, we shared what we wrote. We then learned the new "chunks" for the week; -ock and -ack. We read a poem together and identified all of the words with the new chunks. We then took our spelling pretest and received our spelling packets for the week. We learned about our new centers and then completed 3 of them! We finished literacy by reading The Enormous Turnip together and learning the new vocabulary. Our morning ended with Social studies. We reviewed urban, rural, and suburban communities by completing a chart together. After lunch we had math. We began chapter 6 by learning about greater than, less than, and equal to. We practiced the new skill by comparing number on white boards. We ran out of time and had to go to art, but after art, we finished math by completing some math book pages independently and then correcting them together. Our day ended with science. We read about how animals grow and change and then made illustrations of an animal of our choice growing and changing. We'll finish our drawings the next time we have science.

The homework for tonight is to read The Enormous Turnip, sign math test, S.S. pg. 8, and math pg. 6-1. Due to the day off, our normal Monday schedule will be tomorrow. Because of this, we will not have library. We will resume it again next week.
