Tuesday in Mrs. Bognetti's Class

This morning we reviewed words with -our. We highlighted words in a poem, completed a workbook page, and then started our spelling homework. The students need to finish it tonight. We made a web together about cooking (things we need, where we can cook, and things to remember when we cook). Then, we introduced the vocabulary words for this week's story. We practiced our words with a Power Point presentation. The students need to draw pictures to go with each vocabulary word for homework. We talked about synonyms (words that mean almost the same thing). We want to use exciting words when we write. We then talked about inferencing. While we read the story Hedgehog Bakes a Cake, we practiced inferencing and making predictions. The children had a good time reading the story. After, we completed our DLP. Then, we talked about proper nouns and people's names. We remember that we must use capital letters. The students have a workbook page to complete for homework. We completed one center today. Then, Ms. Zagone, our student teacher, taught the students about the rain forest. She did an explore activity on leaf bats with the students, showing them that a leaf can act as a shelter to keep the bats dry. They read the lesson and began drawing a picture of a rain forest. They need to finish drawing and glue in four given animals for homework. They have a lesson outline as well. This afternoon in math, we practiced adding on to a dollar. We talked about the dollar sign and decimal point. Most everyone completed their homework in class. Some students have a few corrections to make on their papers for tonight. At the end of the day, the students went to art class.
