This morning we read, chapter 7, "A Secret Passage" of our Magic Tree House book 2, The Knight at Dawn. Jack and Annie use their book to discover a way out of the dungeon through a secret passage. We discussed the meaning of the word "precipice" as it was used in the story. Additionally, we discussed the meaning of the phrase "tearing through the book". After reading, we completed our follow up comprehension activities. We practiced answering in complete sentences. To end our session, we had fun with a "short a" word crossword puzzle. Gracyn read the clues and used a word bank (as needed) to assist her in completing the puzzle. This included words such as apple, basket, match, and tracks.
