Christopher started the lesson by reading a short paragraph titled, Mr. Dunlop Helps. Christopher read smoothly and retained the details in order to understand the problem of the story. We discussed the problem that can happen when a person does not do their accounting and they spend more than they have. In this story, Mr. Dunlop organizes the checks and adds them up to find out how much money was spent. Christopher continued the lesson with a review of all the vowel sounds and their key words. He also practiced digraphs and consonants. Christopher reviewed welded sounds and the vowel team chart with key words. Christopher used the colorful markers to practice writing the sight words: way, away, day, today, says, always, and our. Christopher needed extra practice for the words "our" and "always." Christopher then read words on p. 62 for charting and got 15/15. He read sentences on p. 65 and did a good job scooping the phrases with a vis-a-vis pen. The lesson was finished by going back to reading Because of Winn Dixie. Christopher read aloud the part about Ms. Block's famous littmus losenges. Christopher alternated reading with me. He did a nice job.
