The "Learning to Fly" exercise is a visual graphic display of flight success (or failure) using several key variables:
Acceleration, propulsion fuel quantities, ramp length and height, air resistance and glider/small rocket assist. The time duration and height of the flight earns $$$ rewards which can then be spent on various flight enhancing resources.

The teacher introduced the days of the week in Spanish. The teacher said them aloud, and the students repeated after her. She then wrote the days on the whiteboard in the correct order so the students could recognize and practice sequencing them. Afterwards, the students completed a hands-on activity where they cut, glued, and arranged the days of the week in the correct order using scissors, glue, and a pencil.

Remington and I started Unit 1 of the Inspire Science Land and Water textbook today. We discussed Earth's Landscape, kinds of land and bodies of water that can be found on Earth. Next, we mapped the Earth's surface. Remington was able to identify that hills, mountains, rivers, plains, and lakes might be on a map of Earth's surface. Then, we discussed local landscapes and why the land is different in places around the world.

Remington began with daily review questions and completed an adding 1 basic facts practice. Then, we reviewed how to skip count by 5s and 10s as well as count back by 1s. Today's lesson expanded upon our last lesson on counting patterns within 100 to numbers to 1,000. Remington worked on writing the missing numbers in a chart showing the numbers in the four hundreds, which he will complete tomorrow.

1. Brain Warm up
2. Chart tapping -(Add first row of Blends chart tomorrow). "Point and Say" Dictation
3. "Point and Say" Dictation- phonemes chart 1
4. Review- CVC words mixed practice. Play board game (Roll and Read) with word list from lesson pg. 32..
5. Dictation- CVC mixed practice
6.Phrase/Sentence work- Play same board game (at student's request) using phrases from lesson pg. 32
Act out sentence.
7.Dictation- phrases target skill
8. Hand writing- Lower case a,c,o,g,q,b,d,l,k,h

Learning to Fly: Cool Math Skills Game : This thought provoking online "game" requires the student to use various parameters such as angle. ramp length., acceleration, ramp height, gliders, small rockets etc. to maximize a "penguin's flight" time and elevation. For each successful flight with the penguin, the student earns $$ which can be spent on flight boosting such as Gliders, acceleration, rocket fuel etc.

Remington began with timed basic addition fact problems on adding one. Then, we continued to work on counting patterns within 100. He completed counting patterns on counting by ones, fives, tens, and counting backwards by ones.

1. Brain Warm Up
2. Chart Tapping
3.Word Study- Use Vocabulary cards with target skill (Open/Closed/ Silent e syllables)
4.Sentence/Phrase work with target skill words.
5. Hand writing- a,c,o,d,b,e,l,k,h

Today, Remington and I completed a number sense and place value science activity on whales. We learned about different kinds of whales and where they are primarily found. Remington circled different locations on a map of North America and answered questions related to their numbers seen on a whale study. While working, Remington and I listened to the songs that are sung by each whale.

This morning's lesson focused on counting patterns within 100. Remington wrote the missing numbers in a hundreds chart while recognizing the patterns within each row and column. Then, he used mini-hundreds charts to create wall references on skip counting by 2s, 5s, and 10s to help him skip count by different amounts and start counting from different amounts.
