Liam was so excited to talk about his trip to Brazil. We located Brazil on the map along with the two cities, Santos and Sao Paula, he visited. We began working on his new spelling assignment for the rest of the year. For the next few weeks, he will be given 15 spelling words on Monday, and will have a test over these words on Friday. Today we went through all the words, writing them 3 times each, writing a sentence for each word, and taking a practice test. We worked on several activities using digraphs. Our baby chicks hatched, so Liam spent time in the science lab observing and discussing the life cycle of chickens.
