Tuesday in Mrs. Bognetti's Class

This morning we watched a documentary about penguins called The March of the Penguins. It showed real penguins in Antarctica and how they take care of their eggs on the cold ice. Everyone took notes on the film so we can use the non-fiction facts to write a paragraph tomorrow. We will also take our Reading and Spelling tests. Then, we went to the computer lab and learned typing skills. After lunch, we read more of Harry Potter. In math, we learned about measuring with inches, feet, and yards. Some of us have homework. In Science, we did an explore activity. We put a feather in oil and saw what can happen to birds when oil is spilled into the ocean. We concluded that the birds can die if they are unable to fly and find food. Then, we read our lesson about how we can care for Earth's resources (land, air, and water). We also talked about recycling. We finished our flipbooks today, which should help you and your child study for the science test on Friday. I will send home pages to re-read along with your child's book tomorrow and Thursday. We do have to finish the lesson outline for homework tonight.

I sent home a parent letter asking for you to send in shoe boxes, if possible, by Friday. We appreciate your help!!!
