Kellan started his lesson by working on the analysis of the third sentence on his dictation test for 4.2. Kellan reviewed the spelling and markups for the word "trombone." He circled all the sight words and marked up the vowels. Then, Kellan read the story Complex Math. He read aloud and stopped along the way to paraphrase the story. Next, Kellan started the drill of vowels for his lesson on 4.3. He reviewed long and short vowels a, e, i, o, and u with their keywords. Kellan practiced the consonants and digraphs: f, v, g, r, n, l, s, sh, wh, and ch. He practiced the welded sounds old, ank, onk, ost, ind, ing, and ang. Kellan was introduced to the concept of three-syllable words using both closed vowel syllables and vowel-consonant-e syllables. Kellan read the word "postponement." He needed a word study on this word, so it was entered into his vocabulary list. Kellan heard the definition while it was written in his book. He discussed the word and scenarios where appointments are postponed, and Kellan drew a diagram to help remember the word. Next, Kellan read the word: "contemplate." A definition was entered into Kellan's notebook. Kellan worked on the meaning of the word to prepare a sentence. Kellan looked at the sculpture by Rodin of The Thinker. He drew a picture of himself contemplating. Kellan will work on more words next week.
