We did it! We have completed Jonathan’s Ready Classroom textbook. We worked through the unit 6 check which assessed Jonathan’s abilities to identify key points and supportive details in the text. Jonathan scored a 100% on his assessment. We will continue to integrate concepts learned from this text throughout our language arts activities. For writing today, Jonathan finished writing the final 4 words and definitions in his glossary for his animals of the rainforest project. He defined mollusks, nocturnal, omnivores, and patterns using excerpts from a children’s dictionary. He also wrote an introduction for his piece that gave basic information about the rainforest and identified the four animals that one could learn more about by reading his book. He labeled and added an illustration to the top of his introduction page. In literature, we continued our reading of Midnight on the Moon with chapters 7 – 8. We answered comprehension questions after our reading and discussed the vocabulary terms of visor, scurried, and constellation. We made predictions as we read and determined that our first guess for the final “M” thing that the kids needed to find was not correct! Jonathan also practiced his novel-related spelling words Finally, for grammar today we enjoyed the book, Pre-and Re-, Mis-and Dis by Brian P. Cleary. This colorfully illustrated book discussed prefixes and gave us many examples of prefixes and how they are added to root words to change the meaning of the word.
