Monday in Mrs. Bognetti's Class

We actually have a five day week!!! I have to admit that the students were pretty tired after the three day weekend. We need to gear up for these five days of hard work!

This morning we worked on our Washington, D.C. projects. Some groups have finished their posters and have moved on to writing their paragraphs. We are getting closer and closer to the end! Then, we read a story called Jalapeno Bagels. We learned our phonics pattern of the week: gh and ph words that sound like (f). We introduced the spelling words. Yes, one of the words is "petroglyphs", a word from our story this week that means "pictures carved in rock". We completed a workbook page using our spelling words. Then, we corrected two sentences of DLP, talked about writing personal stories, and discussed helping verbs. We also went to art class. This afternoon we learned how to find a perimeter in math. Some students do have homework. We also took another timed test. I continue to move more and more students to subtraction....finally! Keep practicing at home!!! At the end of the day, we learned two more cursive letters, g and o. Remember not to practice letters we haven't covered in class. Some of the students are learning bad habits before they have even been introduced to the letters!
