L.A.
* We reviewed frequency words practicing correct spelling. These words are from the first 60 most commonly written words. We also danced, sang, and chanted the spelling of these words.
* Maverick reviewed the short/long vowel sounds in nonsense and real words.
* Reviewed - short vowel patterns of “ack” “eck”, “ick” “uck” and long pattern “ake”, “ike”, “uke” “oke”.
* Reviewed – “r” control words and long pattern words like “ai”, “ee”, and “ui”. He read and spelled many words with these sounds.
* Introduced – word patterns - “ould” and “ook”
*Syllables- “closed” (CVC/ C) and “open” (VCV) syllable patterns- I gave him many nonsense and real words to divide and read. He needed to plug in a short or long vowel after dividing the word into syllables, giving practice while working towards mastery of this reading pattern. He was also given many words that he had to cut into two parts following the syllable rules.
* Test taking strategies were reviewed and practiced. He was given a practice assessment from the “FSA Practice Test Book” test #4 in which he had to apply the test-taking strategies. This activity had 1 short written response. He applied the “RACE” format of answering the questions.
R-Restate the question

Math-
* Maverick worked on many problems where he had to estimate the answer to the 10’s and 100’s and then solve for the sum or difference of a math problem and word problems.
