Thursday--Miss Calderone's class

Our day started meeting our new classmate! I hope everybody takes the time to make him feel very welcome. We then began writing in our December journals and correcting our DLP. After that we came to the floor to share our journals and work on some phonics. We reviewed how days of the week are proper nouns and then completed a grammar sheet with a partner. We corrected it together and then completed 3 centers. We regrouped and then read Johnny Appleseed like we were in a play! We did an excellent job! Our morning ended doing a chart about how apples grow and where they grow. We also wrote the vocabulary words in our literacy journal and followed by finding the definitions in our glossary. After lunch we had to put our heads down and reflect on the morning for 5 minutes. We have been having a VERY chatty week and we needed to sit quietly and think about how to change our behavior. We read Harry Potter for a bit and then began math. In math we looked at time order words. We put them in order from shortest to longest and then discussed different activities for each word. We completed some math book pages as a class. We then had science where we reviewed a pond habitat. We moved on to a stream habitat and completed a science worksheet together. Our day ended with P.E.

The homework for tonight is to read and study Johnny Appleseed, complete your spelling packet/study, and math 10-4.
