Today Macy started with her spelling and vocabulary test. She scored a 95%. She then wrote as many prepositions as she could recall by memory. This was challenging! We spent the rest of our time wrapping up the study of her novel, Caddie Woodlawn. Macy worked through her comprehension and analysis packet. In addition to making sure all questions and vocabulary were addressed for each chapter, we discussed additional literary concepts. These included stereotyping (of the Native Americans), themes (such as gender equality, sibling rivalry, honesty, identity, and change), and figurative language (idioms). Macy worked to provide examples related to the novel in these areas. There was also an activity in which she provided examples of the older language style used in the text and what those statements would mean in the current day.
