Wednesday--Miss Calderone's class

Today we began our day correcting our D.L.P. and writing in our February journals about whatever was on our minds. After sharing we began rough drafts of our riddles. They're looking awesome so far! We worked for a bit and then learned a new cursive letter; p. After writing we completed 3 centers. Our day ended with social studies. We reviewed for the test by answering some questions together and with a partner. I hope everyone is ready for the test tomorrow! After lunch we read Harry Potter for a bit and then went to math. We began our geometry unit! We learned about 2-D versus 3-D objects and learned about a rectangular prism, cone, cube, sphere, and cylinder! We talked about the amount of faces, edges and vertices. The facbe is the flat part of an object, the edge is where the faces/sides meet, and the vertices are the "points" on an object. With a partner we walked around the room trying to find some objects and then listed some on the board. After math we went to library and finished the day with science. We wrote a paragraph on how to keep our teeth clean and healthy to finish up our dental unit. Our next science unit will be the human body!!!!

The homework for tonight is to read Cool Ali, math 19-1, sign math test, study S.S., finish rough draft (most got this done in class), and complete grammar pg. 134. I did give some time at the end of the day to do some homework since it's a bit more than usual.
