Liam learned about idioms and used examples from our last story to reinforce the meaning of an idiom. He wrote all of his new vocabulary words and their meanings into his interactive notebook. He used his glossary skills to look up all the words and their meanings. He read his new story about "The Earth and Its Neighbors." We talked about Galileo, astronauts, satellites, and telescopes. We discussed how these people and instruments advanced our study of the solar system. He learned how to summarize what he had read.
