Tuesday in Mrs. Bognetti's Room

In our journals today, we wrote about an animal that we wished we could be. We read a story today about a mixed-up chameleon that wanted to be different. The children had some great ideas and were able to connect those ideas to the story. We cut apart vocabulary cards to practice with at home. We used a Power Point presentation to practice the words and their meanings. Then, we learned how to read quietly to ourselves using "whisper phones". We went to the computer lab for the first time today. We also completed our DLP for today. In the afternoon, we silent read for a few minutes and then I started reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone to the class. The children really enjoyed it. In math, we reviewed skip-counting by 2's, 5's and 10's. Then, we learned how to add and subtract both vertically and horizontally. Some students need to finish a worksheet for homework tonight. I did collect the ones that were finished. In Science, we learned about weather and the water cycle. We also talked about different drills we would practice in school.
