Tuesday--Miss Calderone's class

Today we got into our seats and began writing in our November journal about what we thought the meaning of Thanksgiving is. It turned out that most of the students did not know so we watched a short video about it and discussed the holiday. After that, we used our winter brainstorming sheet to write a poem rough draft. As students finished, I went around to help edit and then the students typed their own poems AND added a clip art! The entire morning was dedicated to typing our poems, working on an illustration, and completing an "I am thankful for..." packet. We got a lot done! After lunch we jumped right into math. We reviewed telling time and then cut digital/analog clock to match correct times. Our time was cut short because we had to go to art. After art we had science. We worked a bit more on our habitat drawings and finally finished them for good this time! I showed the class each habitat and we discussed them to prepare for the test. Our day ended reading a bit of Harry Potter.

The homework for tonight is a math sheet (if you didn't finish it in class) and study for the science test on Thursday!
