Oliver listened to an audio of the poem, "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings," by Angelou. We discussed each stanza and the feelings the words created. After reading, Oliver and I discussed what the bird symbolized and the cage. He completed comprehension questions. In grammar, Oliver chose the correct present form of each verb so that it agreed with the subject. He worked with indefinite pronouns and collective nouns as subjects. He edited a paragraph for capitalization, punctuation, and spelling errors. We read in "Legend." Oliver should complete reading the chapter in "Legend" and review spelling words for homework.
