What are the Rights and Responsibilities of Citizens?
Lesson Outline
Jason created a flip book of where he lives. He drew pictures and labeled them. We read and discussed the vocabulary words for the next unit Our Community: address, border, capital, continent, environment, location, neighborhood, symbols, transportation and globe.
Today's lesson was on subtracting tens and ones on a hundreds chart to help develop mental math strategies and number sense by recognizing patterns. Jason looked at counting on and counting back as two strategies to find differences. Together, we completed the lesson's examples before Jason used a hundreds chart to answer five practice questions.
Review what compound words are and put words together and verify if they make sense. Next, decide if the words help you understand the meaning of the compound word or not.

Lesson Comments
Jason had a very hard time staying awake for us to do our work. We were able to complete the lesson and he fell asleep during the last 10 minutes.
Jason was sound asleep when I walked into his classroom. He woke up at the end of the session and we were able to complete several reading comprehension activities pertaining to mammals.
We took turns acting out famous characters without making any sounds. I would choose three characters for him, or he would choose three for me centered around a theme.
The actor would then act like one of the 3 characters without making any sounds and try to get the non-actor to guess who they were acting as.
Jason had a vivid reenactment of Santa that included carrying a sack over his should, climbing up into a sleigh, and then driving the reindeer. He also had some fun ideas for characters that I could act out.
How Have Rights and Responsibilities Changed Over Time?
Lesson Outline
Jason reviewed how rights and responsibilities have changed over time. He completed pages 44-45 in the Inquiry Journal. He wrote about one responsibility children had in the past, one right children have today, and three ways rights and responsibilities have changed from the past. We read Reader's Theater "Goldilocks and the Three Bears." We discussed the lesson Goldilocks learned, which was to respect the rules and be a good citizen.
