Today for science, we began the chapter on electricity. We completed the first lesson in which we learned the various items that need electricity whether it be from a plug on the wall or by batteries. We used the glossary to define electricity as the flow of charged particles. For Latin, Morgan made flash cards for lesson 15. This lesson focuses on adverbs: clam (secretly), numquam (never), nunc (now), saepe (often), and semper (always). We practiced reading the cards along with the meanings. For language arts, Morgan wrote her 10 spelling and 2 vocabulary words in alphabetical order. She needed a little help making sure she got all of the words and talked about checking them off the list for organization. She then continued in her spelling practice book with a proofreading exercise. She was tasked with using editors marks to correct three words with spelling errors and one careless error. She did a nice job finding the mistakes. As her class is beginning a unit study on fables, we discussed that fables are stories that have a moral and typically feature animals as the characters. We read from a selection of Aesop’s Fables for young readers. Our first story was: The Lion and the Mouse. The moral of this story was that kindness is never wasted and that all creatures need each other. Additionally, Morgan read, The Dog and the Reflection. In this story, the moral was that if you want too much, you may lose what you already have. We made predictions, reviewed throughout for comprehension, discussed the actions of the characters, theorized on the moral of the story, and discussed the presented moral of the story as related to what we concluded.
