Monday in Mrs. Bognetti's Room

As we are starting to establish routines, the children are really starting to catch on! They know to come into the classroom in the morning and start writing in their journals. Today we wrote about something we wish to be. We have a lot of heroes in the making! Then, we learned how to do "DLP" (Daily Language Practice). Basically, we correct two sentences with errors every day. Then, we talked about how to stay on a topic when we write, what paragraphs look like, and how to identify and write good sentences. We practiced our spelling words. Thanks for practicing over the weekend as well! We worked on a spelling page in class today, but not everyone finished. I checked whatever was complete, but did not record the results. We went to art class. This afternoon we practiced skip-counting by 2's, 5's, and 10's. It is difficult for beginning 2nd graders to skip-count starting from other numbers besides 2, 5, and 10. I collected a page in class. We had an all-school assembly to discuss Wesley Expectations. At the end of the day, we talked about some Social Studies vocabulary words and cut apart some vocabulary cards for future use. Overall, it was a good day.





Thanks for sending in those empty cereal boxes...keep emptying more!
