We reviewed his story from Wednesday and started an interactive notebook in which he wrote down all of his vocabulary words and their definitions. As we wrote down the vocabulary words, we used glossary skills to look up the definitions. He read a second story, " Bruno's New Home," that incorporated the vocabulary words from the first story. We discussed the story details and arrived at the moral of each story. He wrote the moral of the story into his notebook. In spelling we worked on short i and short o words. He was able to use these words in context, and identify their meanings
