Monday--Miss Calderone's class

I hope you didn’t eat too much candy this weekend! Our day started with completing part of our DLP and writing in our new November journal. We had to quickly go to Music followed by P.E. When we got back, we corrected our DLP and shared our journals. We then listened to The Little Red Hen and discussed the importance of the lesson from the story. After that we learned our new chunk for this week; -our (makes the or sound). We took our spelling pretest and corrected it together. We finished our morning discussing the new centers, getting our new reading books for the week, and completing one center. Monday mornings go so fast! When we got back from lunch we finished a workbook page and corrected it together. We switched for math and reviewed the coins we’ve learned so far. We also learned about a new coin; the dollar coin! We practiced counting using all the coins we learned and then completed a workbook page together. We got together with partners to complete a challenge page, and then corrected that together as well. We finished math completing one more workbook page. In science we reviewed the woodland forest and rainforest habitats and together, completed a bar graph about amount of rain over a three month period. We finished science learning about a desert habitat. We had a couple minutes to begin working on our homework so your child may have a few answers filled out. Our day ended with media center. We used Kidspiration to complete an outline of our home, neighborhood, city, and state.

The homework for tonight is to read Hedgehog Bakes a Cake, complete math 8-1 and science 81/82, and get your reading test signed.
