Language Arts: In his iReady textbook, we continued identifying which senses the words captured. We read a page from Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel and discussed what the text helps us picture. We continued working on our plural nouns packet that we started yesterday. We finished reading the story about The Elves and the Shoemaker. We were tasked with generating lists to practice pluralizing nouns that end in -f, -lf, -fe, and irregular plural nouns as well. For our novel study, we continued working on our reader’s response journal to answer questions about Stink the Incredible Shrinking Kid. Jonathan pretended to draw his own state quarter and drew his face and name on one side and a palm tree and “Florida” on the back. He also practiced changing verbs by adding the -ing such as make to making. As we have been working on parts of speech, we watched the Brain Pop Jr. learning video on Adjectives and Adverbs. Jonathan scored 4/5 on both the easy and hard quizzes. Jonathan continued working on his creative writing piece we started yesterday about Newton the newt’s adventure out in the wild. Additionally, Jonathan completed his preliminary diagnostic test for readingeggspress.com. He will begin on lesson 61 for this language arts resource. Finally, we ended the day with a fun word ladder. Using phonics and vocabulary clues, we worked from “fried” up to “baked”! Religion: Today we continued discussing the Sacrament of Baptism. We read about how a white garment is placed on the child and then a candle is lit by a family member. The Father prays that the child will always walk in the light of Christ. Jonathan colored a candle for his craft project for this week.
