Tuesday--Miss Calderone's class

Our day started writing in our November journal and correcting our DLP. We shared our journals and then learned about the new vocabulary words for the story, Lemonade for Sale. We then listened to/discussed the story and made a bar graph on the board to go along with the story. The students caught on very quickly and we had a lot of fun listening to the story! We then began the process of writing a paragraph about what we're thankful for. We made a brainstorming web first, and then wrote a paragraph together. After we talked about what a good paragraph looks like, we began writing on our own. The students were also instructed to circle any words they think are misspelled so that later on we can correct them. We spent a little time writing and then moved on to centers. We completed 3 centers and ended the morning with just a bit of social studies. We learned what an ocean is and drew a picture. After lunch we headed straight for math! We switched classrooms today and began learning about time. We identified the hour and minute hand and learned how to tell time to the hour. We began learning about telling time to the half hour, but had to go to art. We did not finish the lesson so there is no math homework for those that are in my class for math. After math we went to art, came back, and had science. We continued working on our habitat drawings.

The homework for tonight is to read Lemonade for Sale, finish rough draft, and some have math 9-1 for homework.
