Language Arts: This morning we read a fun booklet entitled, Verbman Saves the Day! We read about how Verbman uses action verbs to defeat Couch Potato! Jonathan found verbs in the text and also completed a fill in the blank activity with verbs. Next, Jonathan practiced proper capitalization of names of places. We continued our discussion on identifying the narrator of a story in his iReady textbook. We used one of his source texts and read a few examples to make the determination that the narrator was the author. We enjoyed two chapters and follow up activities with our novel study, Dinosaurs Before Dark. On Reading Eggspress, Jonathan used the digital dictionary to look up the word “strange”. He was then tasked with putting the word in alphabetical order, identify its part of speech, and identify which sentence used the word correctly. He did this with “snatch” and “sailed” as well. He also learned about how authors use exclamation marks and question marks. He then interpreted statements to determine their meaning as well as practiced drawing conclusions. Finally, on this site, he worked to find the meanings of words using context clues. Religion: We continued our discussion of God’s love and forgiveness. We listened to and read the words for the song Children of God, which reminds us that we are children of God in one family. The song shares that sometimes we get it wrong but God forgives us every time. We tied forgiveness and coming back together again into the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation. We talked about ways to say we are sorry, ways to show we are sorry, and ways to forgive. Jonathan completed follow up activities in his book and scored 5/5 on his quiz for this chapter.
