Wednesday in Mrs. Bognetti's Room

Today we learned a lot about Thanksgiving! We started the day by writing what we like about Thanksgiving. Then, we watched a video clip on making lists (topic: What We Eat for Thanksgiving Dinner). Then, we wrote our own recipes to help you next Thursday on how to make a turkey! Stop by before or after your conference to check out our recipes on the wall outside our classroom (as well as our Landform Models and Dioramas in the cases in the lobby)! We watched a movie about William Bradford and the Pilgrims' First Thanksgiving. Then, we wrote about and drew pictures of the Mayflower. We also went to music. This afternoon, we completed two groups of guided reading/centers. Then, in math we learned about calendars. Both classes have homework. In Social Studies, we read a Reader's Theater script about a Thanksgiving Tale. Then, we read a mini-book about the Voyage of the Mayflower. At the end of the day, the children cleaned out their desks so they are beautiful when you come for conferences. See you either tonight, tomorrow, or Friday!
