Today we began by going over some of the more uncommon multiplication facts. Next we reviewed long division and then I covered simple fractions and their complementary decimals. Next, Kai practiced adding and subtracting decimals, and we covered converting fractions into decimals. We then moved on to discussing some of Kai's favorite books. We read Rudyard Kipling's short story "Elephant's Child" and discussed dialect and word usage throughout the story. Next, I asked Kai to consider writing his own short story and asked him to think about character, setting, conflict as he brainstormed. Kai then wrote the first paragraph. During his break, I gave Kai a math review packet and a copy of Lord of the Flies to read in his downtime. We will review and discuss when he returns.
