Thursday in Mrs.Bognetti's Room

Sorry for the long gap here on the Blogspot...things are slowly going back to "normal" here in Mrs. Bognetti's room! This morning we took a Pretest in Literacy. I explained to the children that "pre" means "before" and that I am giving them this "test" to see what they already know before I actually teach information to them. Then, I will compare the results to the Posttest at the end of the unit to measure their growth. They worked hard! Because they were exhausted, we took some time to watch It's Thanksgiving, Charlie Brown! After that, we worked on our Landform Models. Hopefully they will be finished tomorrow so that you can see them on Monday when you come for conferences! We also had Book Buddies today. After lunch, we read Harry Potter and then switched classes for math. Miss Calderone's class made turkeys and put coins on the feathers adding up to an amount on the belly. My class played Time Bingo and then watched a few short BrainPop videos on telling time. It was fun. In Science, we reviewed for our Test that we will take on Habitats tomorrow. We re-read all 5 lessons and reviewed the vocabulary. You should do the same with your child tonight. Thanks for your help!
