We kicked off our session with his daily language review, in which we reviewed sentences for punctuation involving end marks, apostrophes for possessives and contractions, and commas. We then moved right into our literacy study of Night of the Ninjas. Jonathan scored 11/12 on his spelling test, which was up from 5/12 on the pretest. We then read the final two chapters of the novel and we were excited to see the kids were helped by Peanut the mouse! Jonathan did a great job with his follow up-comprehension questions after our reading. He wrote about an important setting in the story that affected the characters. We also did a contraction and possessive noun hunt through some of the book’s pages. We compared and contrasted the two. For Fun Friday, we enjoyed a game of Jeopardy! Jonathan worked to answer 5 questions of increasing difficulty in the following categories: make it plural, part of speech search, adjectives and adverbs, and spell it with the suffix. He did a great job and needed some help with the adverbs. We followed up on our study of alliteration with the fun rhyming book, Chips & Cheese & Nana’s Knees! We read various examples of alliteration and discussed that it is generated from the same sounds at the beginning of the word. Finally, as we have been learning about taking care of God’s creation, we watched some short informational videos about marine debris (what it is, where it comes from, and the negative effects it creates). We saw how trash in the ocean deeply impacts its inhabitants.
