Wednesday--Miss Calderone's class

Our day began writing in our February journals. We wrote about one thing we like to do at home and tried to write 3 supporting details. After sharing we learned the new cursive letter, f. We practiced and then began brainstorming for this week's paragraph; What we would do if we were principal for a day. We started our rough drafts and many students finished. Those that didn't have it as their homework. We then worked on a review packet with a partner. We spent a little time on that before moving on to writing a friendly letter. We reviewed the 5 parts of a letter and then as a class wrote a letter to Mrs. Calit. She'll be so excited to receive our letters! We moved on to social studies next. We received a new Time For Kids magazine about endangered animals. We spent time with a partner looking through it before reading together. For the rest of the morning we reviewed goods, services, and income. We wrote the definition and drew pictures to help us remember what they mean. After lunch we silent read and then had math. We switched classes and started our unit on measurement! We even got new books! Today we focused on estimating and using cubes/paper clips to measure objects in our book. We had a great time in math. We then switched back and went to library. When we came back we had science. We reviewed some information on light and completed a light web in our science journals.

The homework for tonight is to finish your rough draft and continue reading and logging your minutes for Ozzie's Reading Club!
