Thursday in Mrs.Bognetti's Room

Today we reviewed words with the -our pattern. Together, we highlighted words that had the -our pattern in a decodable book. We put them in our book boxes to re-read during centers time. Then, we started our spelling homework in class, but need to finish tonight. The children were excited to have a word search. Then, we talked about synonyms (words that have almost the same meanings). I showed the class how to write an acrostic poem using a Thanksgiving topic. One of the centers this week is to write an acrostic poems using one of their vocabulary words. We did a worksheet on proper nouns that I collected in class. We completed the DLP and one center and then we read with our Book Buddies. This afternoon, in my math class, we practiced using money to buy goods from a store. One child got to "buy" something, the other was the cashier. Please continue to practice using coins with your child. Let them buy something small at the store and come up with the money to purchase the item. We also played Money Bingo. The students have one page of math homework. In Miss Calderone's math class, they began to make change, using the strategy counting up. They, too, have one page of homework. In Social Studies, we worked on our Landform Booklets. All students had the definitions written in class, but they need to finish drawing pictures of each landform for homework tonight. They should have added details to their pictures! At the end of the day, they went to music.
