Math: Today for Saxon math 101 we focused on geometric solids. We watched a Brain Pop Jr. learning video to support the material. We labeled the cone, cube, sphere, cylinder, rectangular prism, and pyramid. We examined the features of the cube and pyramid. Her Guided Class Practice / Homework activity tasked her with subtraction word problems, estimating, sharing items equally, naming the pictured geometric solid, reading and answering questions from a graph, solving mixed addition and subtraction problems, and multiplication x 10. She also completed 50 fact practice problems subtracting with – 7 and -8. Bible: Sadee practiced her Bible memory verse. We also read the Bible story of David the Outlaw. David was in hiding from his father-in-law Saul. Saul found where David was and although David had a chance to kill Saul, he showed him mercy, thus leading to Saul becoming overcome with guilt and recognizing his poor behavior.
ELA: We began with spelling practice in which Sadee wrote her spelling words two times each in her notebook. We worked together to generate a question and a sentence using a spelling word in each. For her phonics and language textbook work Sadee worked with -sion, matched words with their contractions, added suffixes (-s and -ed) in which some words needed a double consonant, completed words with a double consonant in the middle (such as pepper, pillow, and yellow), marked special sounds in words, wrote two sentences about summer using a word bank, and finally, listed four toys she has at home and wrote a sentence about each one. We reread her story for the week, Bread and Jam for Frances. We are working for increased fluency as Sadee gains more familiarity with the words. We did a little extra focus on stopping at periods. Finally, Sadee spent a little time on her school program, typingclub.com
