We reviewed his new spelling words and this week's spelling homework assignments. He learned to write the letters o and a in cursive. We worked on an activity combining two simple sentences into one using the proper punctuation and conjunction. We did an activity with his Wordly wise words making connections with the words and their meanings. We discussed the vocabulary words for his language arts story, "Sharing Traditions." We began reading this story and had a discussion about folktales, as they relate to Africa's tradition of oral story telling. We watched a video about the African folktale, "Anansi and the Turtle."
