Wednesday--Miss Calderone's class

We had a new beginning to the day today! We came in and began our D.L.P. and journal, but shortly after correcting our D.L.P. we went into Mrs. Bognetti's room to watch half of March of the Penguins. We took our journals in to write down facts as we watched. After the movie we came back and reviewed words that compare. We completed a sheet independently and then went over it together. We then completed 3 centers. Our day ended with social studies. We looked over the vocabulary words for the story and read about the first three: government, mayor, and citizen. We drew pictures to accompany the vocabulary and even looked at Addison's government web page. After lunch we read Harry Potter for a bit before math. In math we reviewed what we learned with an emphasis on 2-D vs. 3-D shapes. At the end of math we had some time to make some figures using bags of shapes. After math we went to library and then came back to have science. We reviewed the "hard quiz" from yesterday and then learned about the lungs today. We drew in the lungs on our body outline and discussed the job of that organ. We took a short quiz on the movie and then had a bit of time to go over the quiz.

The homework for tonight is to read The Emperor's Egg and complete math 19-6. Our chapter 19 math test is tomorrow so it would be a good idea to go over the shapes that we learned. We will be reviewing a bit before the test.
