We began with chapter 4, "Into the Castle" of our Magic Tree House book, The Knight at Dawn. This chapter gave a lot of detail about the feast that was occurring in the castle. When we went to complete our follow up questions, Gracyn couldn't remember many of the details. There was a lot of information presented at one time so we spoke about ways to remember the details. We also discussed how we can go back into the text to find missing information. Additionally, we talked about new vocabulary words such as a (water) well. Gracyn continued reading a fiction story she started last week entitled, Splat the Cat: Blow, Snow, Blow by Rob Scotton. This book provides for good practice of reading tricky blends and clusters (two and three consonants together in words). We worked on chunking sounds together in tricky words to sound them out. We laughed at how Splat tried to make snow with ice, feathers from a pillow, and a fan!
