This morning we began with spelling practice. Sadee wrote her words two times each and we worked together to generate a question and a sentence. The remainder of our ELA activities focused on contractions using “s”. We matched contractions with the words, broke apart contractions, identified the correct contraction for the sentence, and found contractions within a passage. Additionally, Sadee wrote 6 sentences using contractions, with an adjective, too! Throughout our work we discussed the two words that make the contractions and identified the letter removed and replaced by the apostrophe. We also discussed plurals vs. contractions. vs. possessives. Math: We worked through Saxon lesson 106 today which focused on things that take one minute, one second, and one hour as well as time to the minute. We watched a Brain Pop Jr. learning video about telling time to the minute, stopping the video to discuss and practice the examples. We then worked through her Guided Class Practice and Homework activities, which tasked her with multiplication (x10) word problems, time to the minute, drawing lines of symmetry and marking ½, completing a chart (counting by 4s and 2s), as well as various multiplication, addition, and subtraction problems. Lastly, we completed her class fact practice (106A) focusing on -9 and -8. Bible: Sadee practiced her memory verse, Matthew 6:26. We discussed the meaning behind the verse in that Jesus is telling his followers not be anxious about food, but to rely on God as the birds, who are far less than people, are fully provided for. Science: We enjoyed video on The Science of Spring from Sci-Show Kids in which they discussed subjects like why it rains, birds looking for mates, how plants grow, and all the amazing bugs you can find in the spring!
