Tuesday in Mrs. Bognetti's Class

Even though we had no specials today, the children stayed focused and we learned a lot!  We wrote some words with au and augh in our Quick Words.  Then, I gave them a few minutes to work in their Spelling Packets (Oops!  I didn't send it home yesterday!).  They know it is still due on Thursday.  Then, we did a Making Words activity.  We introduced our vocabulary words.  We talked about homophones (words that sound the same but have different meanings).  We read our story Montigue Sails the High Seas.  The children really enjoyed hearing about the adventures this mole takes.  We completed our DLP, wrote directions together, and worked with helping verbs.  We learned the cursive letter "I".  Then we got to two centers/guided reading groups.  After lunch, we read more of Holes.  In math, we did some problem solving and took a test on fractions.  We will start probability tomorrow.  In Science, we reviewed our dental Power Point and then made "Tooth-Mobiles".  Each child had to write four facts they learned about teeth.  They turned out really well!  We will squeeze in even more tomorrow!
