Tuesday--Miss Calderone's class

Our day began writing in our December journal and correcting our DLP. After sharing our journals, we went back to our desks and learned the new vocabulary for the story. We read half of the story together because it is a TOUGH story. Please remember that they are able to use their books on their test and are not expected to remember the flower diagram. We then completed 2 centers. We began making our snowflake ornament, but took some time to do social studies while it dried. We reviewed the landforms and read a couple pages in our book. We then independently completed a worksheet. Our morning ended writing some of our rough draft for our "How to Make a Snowflake Ornament". When we came back from recess, we finished our ornaments and continued to work on our rough drafts. I had the list of steps up and it was the students' responsibility to use that for their rough draft. Those that did not stay on task will need to complete the rough draft from memory. The students that finished early began working on a science sheet. We then went to art and when we came back, we had math. We began chapter 11 which is all about graphs. We started the first lesson learning about bar graphs. We completed a bar graph together and then worked to finish some workbook pages.

The homework for tonight is math 11-1, sign and return math test, science pg. 101/102, and finish your rough draft. Many students finished their science AND rough draft so will only have a bit of homework. The back of the math page is a challenge sheet. Your child may try this, but I'm looking to see that the 'practice' side is complete.
