Wednesday in Mrs. Bognetti's Class

This morning we made a list of words we knew with aw and augh.  We found that our list of aw words was way longer than augh.  Then, we reviewed our vocabulary and word wall words.  We re-read our story in groups and completed a scavenger hunt.  After gym and music, we finished our DLP and had centers/guided reading.  After lunch, we finished the book Holes.  The children stood up and cheered when it ended because they were so excited about it.  They wished there was a sequel.  What fun books can be!  In math, we started learning about probability.  We discussed the terms certain, probable and impossible.  Some students have homework.  In Social Studies, we learned about timelines.  For homework, please help your child write one event from every year in his/her life so we can create our own timelines in class.  The sheet is due on Friday.  We also talked about westward expansion by train.  In Science, we began our unit on the human body.  We learned about our brains and how important it is that we protect it.  We got together in groups to trace bodies and we will add body parts as we learn about them.  It was a great day.
