We kicked off our session today with the review of chapter 5 from our reading of The Lemonade War. Using a word bank, Piero correctly filled in the blank for our summary on 10/12 items. We discussed the areas on which he was unsure. Next, we read the first half of chapter 6. We reviewed vocabulary such as “showoff” and “miser”. We read about the struggles the character Jessie has experienced with mean girls in her life. We also completed another reading exercise with a non-fiction selection on RAZ Kids, with “Get Moving! All About Muscles”. This was a long and involved read which we completed through shared reading. We discussed pronunciation of “fibers” and “muscles”. We worked through the follow-up comprehension quiz together to work through some of the tricky concepts. Oral language directed activity: Today we played a game of Jeopardy! Piero was presented with 4 categories with “dollar” amounts ranging from $100 to $500. He had to verbally select his category, the amount, and then respond to the question once it was presented. He did a nice job, accurately responding to 17/20 questions. The questions were a review of some of the material we have covered in our time together so far (prefixes re- and un-, pronouns, fact/opinion, and plural or possessive).
