Jason completed his interactive calendar. He read and discussed his vocabulary words. He worked on a graphing and sorting activity using candy bones. He finished his daily sentence puzzle.
Jason began with the Topic 4 'Review What You Know' on place value vocabulary, using mental math to find sums, solving a math story, and using an open number line to add. Then, he watched the interactive visual learning tool from the online textbook on how to use base ten blocks to model 2-digit addition. Jason completed the correlating practice problems both online and in his workbook.
Jason opted not to practice shooting a few hoops on the basketball court and stated, with candor that he does not enjoy basketball. We went indoors to continue academic instruction. Jason and I discussed strategies for board games. Jason was very expressive and articulate. He demonstrated exceptional higher-order thinking skills and clearly communicated his thoughts and reasoning strategies using excellent forethought and vocabulary. He then dictated his dream as I wrote it down. When I read it over, we edited a few repetitive words, adding adjectives to make the story more complex. We reviewed the word foreshadowing. Jason is a very bright and inquisitive boy who readily acquires information and is able to effectively apply it to and across different situations.

Lesson Comments
I was asked to sub for Matthew R. with Jason for basketball today, Tuesday, 10-29-24, from 12:36 - 1:21. We were going to go out and shoot some hoops, but Jason emphatically stated that he hates basketball, claiming "it's "torture." Judie asked him what sports he does like, and he mentioned baseball. Judie will look into changing basketball to baseball.
Jason completed his interactive calendar. He worked on his daily sentence puzzle. He carved out his pumpkin, sorted out the seeds, recorded the data pertaining to his pumpkin's measurements, and graphed the results. He washed and cooked the seeds.
Jason watched a video for kids on voting. We discussed how voting day is the first Tuesday in November unless the first Tuesday in November is November 1st, which is the day after Halloween. We discussed polling locations, and why it is important to vote. He read the passages "Voting Is a Right" and "Elizabeth Cady Stanton" on pages 34-35 in the Research Companion. I asked follow-up questions and we discussed equal rights. We discussed the term democracy.
