Wednesday in Mrs. Bognetti's Class

This morning we watched part of the movie The March of the Penguins. It is a documentary about penguins in Antarctica. The children always enjoy seeing and hearing about the factual information regarding these fascinating creatures and the adaptations they must have in order to survive in such brutal conditions. After that, we reviewed the spelling pattern. We completed our work in class. Then, we practiced our vocabulary words and re-read The Emperor's Egg in groups. Then, we completed our DLP and grammar worksheet in class, as well. We got through three centers today. In Science, we learned about the parts of a tooth and the jobs of each type of tooth. This afternoon, we looked at pictures of 2-D and 3-D shapes and compared/contrasted them. In my math class, we also worked in a Shapes and Geometry mini-book. All students have one page of math homework. In Social Studies, we learned about our local government. Each town has a mayor and city council that runs the government. We watched a short video clip showing different things that needed to get done in each town (garbage pick-up, mail delivery), as well as community workers that help the town (police, fire, libraries, schools, etc.). The students have one page of Social Studies homework. At the end of the day, we went to the library.
