We began our lesson by reviewing the parts of speech quickly and then the different types of subordinate clauses. Kai practiced identifying these clauses in different sample sentences. We discussed the correct use of a comma in using subordinate clauses and in joining independent clauses. Next, we read from Lord of the Flies. We discussed imagery, setting, character development, and historical context as we read. Next we moved on to math. Kai practiced three-digit multiplication with much success. Then we reviewed the FSA from 5th grade to see common concepts tested in tricky ways. Kai needed help digesting some of the question forms in order to know where to start.
