Wednesday--Miss Calderone's class

Today was a really fun day. Our day began with writing in our journal about whether or not we like the rain. After sharing we talked about main idea and detail sentences. We identified the main idea when it was mixed between detail sentences and pasted them in the correct order. After that we talked about writing a paragraph and wrote one together about being a good student. After all that writing, we took some time to do 3 centers. Our day ended with social studies. We worked in our Illinois packet some more and learned what the state tree and flower is! After lunch we read Harry Potter for a bit and then began math. We started by writing number names on white boards and then moved on to learn about estimation. We learned some strategies for estimation and then completed some math book pages together. We then had library. When we came back from that, we had our first session of book buddies!!!! We had a great time reading with our new friends.

The homework for today is to complete math 5-5. Also, a purple slip with your child's theme test grade went home. Please sign it and bring it back to school.
