Monday--Miss Calderone's class

What a fast day! We started our day with music and P.E. right away. When we came back we corrected our D.L.P. and wrote in our February journals. We then learned how to make singular words that end with the "f" sound into plural form; change the f to a v and add es. We made a list on the board and then took our spelling pre-test. The students did a great job! After that we practiced singular to plural with a partner and then went over the words together. We moved on to learn a new cursive letter, r. We practiced writing for a bit and then learned our new centers. Before starting centers, we talked about words that tell how many and looked at a big list together. We then finished our morning with 2 centers. After lunch and recess we read Harry Potter for a bit...we're almost done! We then moved onto math where we learned about what tool to measure temperature; a thermometer! We read the temperature on our own thermometers and then got a cup of cool water to dip our thermometers in. We watched as the mercury fell and then read our thermometers again after 1 minute. It was really fun! We then discussed different ways to measure and when you would use a thermometer, balance scale, measuring cup, and ruler. We moved on to social studies. We reviewed the two types of accounts by completing one side of our homework and then learned how to read a pie chart. The other side of the sheet is homework. Our day ended with media center.

The homework tonight is to sign the reading test, complete math 18-6, social studies 32, read Cool Ali, and study for social studies test. Wow, that seems like a lot but the worksheets will not take more than 10-15 minutes combined. Please see the social studies note home about the test on Thursday.
