Tuesday--Miss Calderone's class

Today our day started correcting our DLP and writing in our new December journals. After sharing, we worked on phonics for a bit. We then went back to our desks to discuss the new vocabulary words for the story Johnny Appleseed. We talked about what a play is and how it's different from the stories we've read so far. We then took a break and completed 3 centers. When we regrouped, we read and discussed Johnny Appleseed. Our morning ended with social studies. We worked in partners to complete a review for landforms and a map reading sheet. We came back together and corrected them both. After lunch we had math. We started with a pretest for chapter 10 and then began learning about elapsed time. We were cut short because we had to leave for art. When we came back, we continued the lesson by completing some workbook pages. In science we started our water habitats chapter! We began by learning about a pond and then a duck's feathers and why they are special. We colored a duck with yellow crayon and then I poured just a bit of water on it so the students could see how water reacts when it touches a "duck's feathers". We also completed a science sheet together while reading about a pond. We ended our day with about 5 minutes to work on our informational paragraph.


The homework for tonight is math 10-2, read Johnny Appleseed, and finish your rough draft.
