Tuesday in Mrs. Bognetti's Room

We started our day with our math lesson on more fractions.  The students are doing a great job.  Some do have homework.  We took another timed test and three more people passed a level.  After that, we began literacy.  We analyzed words with ou and ough, did a Making Words activity, and added some words to our Quick Words.  Then, we introduced the vocabulary words for this week's story.  We put those words into sentences.  We made a web about different ways we travel.  Then, we read the story Dinosaurs Travel.  It is a non-fiction story written as a travel guide for children.  It is illustrated by Marc Brown, so a lot of the characters look similar to the ones in the Arthur Books.  The children loved it!  After lunch, we read more of Holes.  Then, we took our Science test.  We learned the cursive letters Y and Z.  Then, we started our new Dental unit.  We watched a Power Point and had a great discussion about teeth and what to do if there is an emergency with our teeth.  The children need to complete a chart at home over the next couple of weeks.  Every time they brush and floss their teeth, they need to cut and glue a tooth to put on the chart.  You will need to sign and return it when your child is finished.
