This afternoon, we began with a review of the election. We discussed election elements by looking at child-friendly pictures of a ballot box, a voting booth, a girl putting her ballot in the box, etc. We continued with our Florida Weekly Studies – Week 5 which focused on time. We talked about the days of the week and the months of the year. We also talked about events that occur at the beginning, middle, and end of the day. Danny sequenced pictures reviewing these events. Danny scored a 5/5 on his assessment of the material presented in the packet. The reader also told the story of Johnny Appleseed as a famous person in the past. We learned that he bartered and gave apple seeds for clothes and things he needed. He traveled the country helping crops grow. We watched Annie and Moby talk about Johnny Appleseed in a Brain Pop Jr. video as well. We concluded our discussions on being a good citizen in which Danny completed a sorting activity on if the behavior described is that of a good citizen or not. We then completed the Unit 1 Review in his Harcourt Social Studies workbook which tasked Danny with finding the correct pictures that showed children following the rules, being safe, and being responsible. Next, we began our study of Thanksgiving. We cut and assembled a mini-book which gave us a good introduction as to the basics of Thanksgiving, with the Pilgrims traveling on the Mayflower in 1620, arriving at Plymouth, and receiving help from the Native Americans. We then read a book by Harriet Ziefert entitled, What is Thanksgiving? In this cute story, Little Mouse and her family prepare for a special Thanksgiving feast. We also read, Thanksgiving Is…, by Louse Borden which showed a family and how they celebrate Thanksgiving as well as how the Pilgrims celebrated. Finally, we wrapped up with an activity to practice using the pronouns my and I correctly as is needed for effective communication. Danny also earned a few minutes on the Starfall app to practice the short o vowel sound and letter sounds.
