After working through his daily language review, we jumped into the IReady textbook to continue working on finding word meanings through context clues. We used his source text, Earthworms, to understand the meaning of “segments” as used in this material about earthworms. We completed a listening center activity in which Jonathan watched a read aloud of The Biggest Valentine Ever. After the story, Jonathan worked to answer questions about the characters, the setting, and the problem. He was asked to provide adjectives to describe the feelings of the characters based on the problem and solution. To wrap up this activity, he wrote three sentences to talk about ways friends should work together in class. He needed some prompting with this particular activity overall, and we will continue to work on these literacy skills. After lunch, we picked back up on Grammar with sentence types. Jonathan read sentences and determined if they were declarative, imperative, interrogative, or exclamatory. We also discussed adverbs. We read a fun story booklet entitled Addie’s Adverbs. In this story we read about the use of adverbs and found targeted adverbs as well as completed a fill in the blank with the proper adverb. For our next literature study, we began reading Magic Tree House book 2, The Knight at Dawn. We read the first chapter and completed follow up reader’s response questions, practicing writing in complete sentences. Jonathan wrapped up the day decoding some funny Valentine Jokes! Religion: Today we began lesson 22, which is entitled, Jesus Gives Us the Eucharist. We read about how Jesus shared a special meal with his Apostles. We discussed what Jesus said and did at the Last Supper. Our vocabulary today focused on the word eucharist, which means “to give thanks”. Jonathan finished a prayer by writing some things for which he is thankful.
