We started our session with literature. After a review of chapter 9 of Charlotte’s Web, we took turns reading chapter 10. Charlotte is still thinking of a way to save Wilbur’s life! As we read, we discussed events for recall as well as analysis, inference, and predictions. We focused a bit on the rope swinging event in the story and looked at pictures online to get a better visual of this unfamiliar term. We also discussed the illustration in the book to help support the reading. Our reading also prompted further discussion of the pronunciations of dying, Aunt Edith, several -ed words, and goslings. Our focused vocabulary today included the words patient, gullible, scooped, straddled, and balance. After reading, Piero completed a fill in the blank summary to help reinforce the material. He is provided a word bank for these summaries. Piero scored 16/20 on measured tasks. We then reviewed the chapter 8 and 9 vocabulary with a crossword puzzle. We also practiced using the words in sentences. Next, we continued review of wh- questions. Piero does well with these, but needs a little more time to think, so I want to really reinforce this area. Lastly, we wrapped up our reading comprehension Jeopardy focusing on main idea and details, summarizing, problem and solution, logical order, and author’s purpose. Piero scored 7/9 on the remaining questions. Oral language directed activities: We looked over our English picture dictionary items from yesterday and added a new page of the outdoors of a house. This included terms such as chimney, roof, windows, and doghouse. We also read through pictures of vegetables and fruits. Piero told me his favorites of each. We then discussed Community Helpers. Finally, we discussed 6 Marvel characters from our project in which Piero gave me information about each. We also discussed the features of personification for Rocket Raccoon.
