Wednesday--Miss Calderone's class

Our day started out correcting some DLP sentences and writing in our journal about helping out. After sharing, we worked on some phonics and then practiced writing our spelling words with a partner. When we came back to our desks, we reviewed singular and plural nouns and then worked independently to finish a worksheet. We corrected it together and everybody did an excellent job. We then completed 3 centers. We will no longer have listening center; students were being too loud and distracting when moving from desk to center and back again. Instead, we have a creative writing center! The students were very excited to write scary stories for their first creative writing center. I am very anxious to read them! We finished the morning with Social Studies. We used our glossary to write definitions for the vocabulary words in unit 1. Remember the test is on FRIDAY. After lunch, we read a Time For Kids about bullying. We discussed the article and how to handle being bullied. We then had math where we reviewed for the test, and took our chapter 6 test. Chapter 7, money, was introduced and we will begin it tomorrow. You can help at home by reviewing coins and asking your child to identify different coins and their values. Our day ended with library and book buddies.

The homework for tonight is to read Helping Out, finish the vocabulary sheet, and study for the chapter 2 science test tomorrow!
