In Monday's lesson, Kelcy and I spent time talking about the words that people use to represent and describe the world and ourselves in relation to other people. I gave Kelcy examples of various words that are spoken the same and whether spelled the same or differently, and, thus, have very different meanings and uses by people. I used the word blue/blew. His most obvious application of the word was the color. Then, I showed him how that word is used to describe a person who is sad. Next, I asked him what word is used to describe the motion of the wind. He stated, "blows," which I praised him as being accurate, however, I then showed him how the word blow, has a form that is usually spoken in the past tense when someone is telling a story about a past event/experience, and that word was "blew." Kelcy continuously was able to share stories and provide connections that were on topic, but I was also impressed with his desire to share information with me that he found interesting or that he wanted to express/teach me. This is the mark of a student who is making connections to his personal experience, which is vital for any student aiming to successfully learn social studies. We continued discussing shapes, symbols, and others things that represent something other than the primary meaning of the word/object. We ended the lesson talking about how sports and practice help people learn important principles in mathematics/geometry as well as musical/rhythm, and physical training; how different parts of the world call certain sports by different names, i.e. Soccer/Futbol; and, the importance of practice, teamwork, and competition.
