Wednesday--Miss Calderone's class

Today we began our day correcting our D.L.P. and writing in our March journal about the 3 parts of government. I've really been trying hard to review as much as possible for our social studies test! After discussing our journals we began centers. We completed 2 centers and then took a snack break. While eating we reviewed contractions and independently completed a sheet which we corrected together. We then finished the last center. After that we completed a Venn-Diagram for Curtis when he began mail carrying and then 42 years later. The students came up with great ideas! After that we learned a new cursive letter; x. We're almost done with the lowercase letters! Our morning ended with social studies. We finished reading the unit and learned how to read a grid map. We put up a picture of a baseball field and then a collage of Washington D.C. memorials and identified which parts were in which parts of the grid. The students caught on quickly and did an awesome job. After lunch we stopped, dropped, and read for a bit. We then had a practice fire drill. When we came back we had math. We reviewed triple digit addition together and then used white boards to practice solving problems. Again, the students did an excellent job. A mystery reader came in and guess who it was...Mr. Wartman! The students had a BLAST listening to him read a really funny book! We were all very excited to see him! When he left we finished up math and then went to library. After library we finished the day having a yummy birthday treat and discussing the last parts we'll be putting on our bodies (bones, muscle, and digestive system). We will probably finish our bodies when we come back from break.

The homework for tonight is to complete your spelling packet/study, read Good-Bye Curtis/study, Study for the social studies test, and complete math 23-3/study. I know there are lots of tests tomorrow and I will do my best to spread them out and not overwhelm anybody.
