Math: Today we began with a review of various concepts we’ve covered over the past few weeks. Sadee then completed written assessment 19. This covered concepts such as adding money problems, using clues to reduce facts and find a target item, drawing time, fractional parts, reading a pictograph, and solving two-digit by two-digit equations. Sadee had one minor error with forgetting to add her one that she carried over. We then tackled Saxon lesson 100. Facts in focus for this lesson are -8. We used the learning wrap ups to see how as the minuend goes up, differences also go up, creating a pattern when writing in sequence. The lesson also focused on using a table to see patterns. We practiced two examples which utilized counting by 2s and counting by 5s. Bible: We practiced Sadee’s memory verse for this week, Ephesians 2:10. We then read the Bible story of how Saul turns against David due to jealousy and envy. ELA: We began with Sadee’s spelling words for the week. Lesson 25 focuses on adding suffixes to words that end with silent e (i.e. hope, hopes, hoped, and hoping). Sadee worked in her textbook to complete sentences using the correct form of the words. We then moved on to her phonics and language lessons. These textbook pages focused on -tion and -sion, adding various suffixes to words in which the root words do not change, finding root words, identifying contractions, and changing “y” to “i” and adding -er or -est. Additionally, she wrote two sentences to tell how she can help her mother at home and then read questions to find answers in the illustrated picture. To tie into her science studies, we read the book Bread and Jam for Frances. We discussed how Frances was feeling as she would only eat bread and jam and how her family began to treat her. We also made predictions along the way! We are working on oral reading with fluency and expression. Additionally, we read chapter 4 in Magic Tree House book 2, The Knight at Dawn. Sadee wrote answers to comprehension questions for follow-up. Finally, we did a little extra practice with compound words. Sadee was provided with three words and she had to choose which two go together to make a new word. She then wrote the new words.
