Monday in Mrs. Bognetti's Room

This morning was busy! We accomplished a lot of "firsts"...we started by reviewing the -id and -ide phonics pattern. We completed a workbook page together. We also received a "Quick Words" booklet, which is like a mini-dictionary. We wrote some -id and -ide words in it. Then, we practiced spelling some of our weekly words with magnetic letters on the board. We completed a spelling workbook page in class. Then, we introduced our vocabulary words. We talked about what each word means. After, we used the vocabulary words in sentences. We discussed main ideas and supporting details. Also, we read our story of the week, Mixed-Up Chameleon. We completed two sentences of DLP, as well. In Science, we re-read our lesson on Weather and completed our Lesson 1 outline together. I taught the students how the questions correlate with the sections of the lesson in their books. When we start the next lesson, the outline will be assigned for homework. After lunch, I read some of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone to the class. Then, we practiced finding sums and differences in math class. First, we practiced in our math journals, then in our workbooks, and then we even went outside and wrote math problems with chalk outside! We then came in and took a timed-test on our addition math facts and completed a worksheet. We learned about the different centers we will be working on in Reading. And, at the end of the day, the children went to gym class. It was a great day!
