Aiden completed a 10-minute meditation. He completed the lab "Simulating Sonar," graphed his data points, and answered the follow-up questions. He completed the Investigation "Under the Sea" where he identified and labeled the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the Mariana Trench on an ocean floor topographic map.
With letter tiles, I showed Luna words with ou, ow, oi, oy, and oo. I explained the sounds and she practiced saying the words. With paint markers on cardstock, Luna wrote sight words, very, triple, among, and false. I gave her a file of 3X5 cards to write sight words from last week and today as well as the phonics sounds from today and last week. We read Piggie and Gerald stories together. We read a picture book of Malala.

Lesson Comments
Max completed the essay on the historical development and significance of Kenilworth Castle. We analyzed and discussed how the 'Big Three' Allied powers dealt with Post WWI Germany by meeting at the Paris Peace Conference and detailing the Treaty of Versailles and the formation of the League of Nations.
We reviewed words with long vowels, ild, ind, old, oll, olt, and ost. We discussed short vowel words (CVC) and long vowel words CVVC and CVCe. We made contraction folders and discussed how they are made and how to pronounce them. We read Gerald and Piggie stories together with the stuffed animals. Luna wrote a few sentences about Piggie and Gerald. Using change-color markers, Luna practiced the sight words whom, whose, once, and always. Together we read the book on Malala that she chose in our last class. We went outside to practice the sight words with sidewalk chalk. Luna then used a hula hoop to practice spelling these words.

Lesson Comments
The book in the "Who Is" series was pretty difficult for Luna. I am going to bring a picture book of Malala to our next class. I will look for Black Lagoon books in the library. These will be more at her level.
