Tuesday in Mrs. Bognetti's Class

We learned a lot today!  We started by writing about what we like to do when we spend time with our grandparents.  A lot of students told us that they like being spoiled by them!  At least they are honest!    Our story today was about a girl who spends time with her "Abuela", or grandmother, in a fantasy world.  The children had a great time reading and discussing it.  We did a Making Words activity to practice our spelling words.  We introduced our vocabulary words.  We made a chart telling what happened at the beginning, middle and end of our story.  Our DLP was completed along with our grammar activity.  Then, we went to the computer lab and did a recycling activity.  This afternoon we learned how to regroup in the tens column.  Some students do have math homework.  In Science, we took a field trip down to the teacher's lounge to learn about what happens to matter when you add heat.  Ask your child what he/she predicted would happen to ice, butter and chocolate when you add heat.  At the end of the day, I gave each child a Hershey's kiss to remind them that solids can melt when heat is added.  I hope they remember!  We had a couple of minutes to review for our Social Studies test at the end of the day.  Make sure your child knows who leads the local government, state government and federal government.  Also, they need to know the three parts of the federal government, along with the vocabulary words and how to read a map grid.  Happy Studying!
