Today in writing Gracyn had to think of a topic and then write three sentences to describe and support her topic. I modeled the paragraph first with talking about why I love the beach. Gracyn's paragraph was about her mom. She wrote that she loves her mom because she is pretty, she is amazing, and because she takes care of her. She used the words first, next, and last to begin each describing sentence. In Bible we learned about Joseph. He was faithful to God and even though his brothers sold him because they were jealous, God was with Joseph and used him. In Science we watched a movie about different types of butterflies. We are enjoying our unit of butterflies this week!
Gracyn began her day by writing her spelling words. We completed her morning work and she wrote about her daddy. We completed a fun word puzzle that had words that described spring. We reviewed what a noun and an adjective is and she had read words and put them in the right category as a noun or adjective. In reading she read a book in Raz Kids and answered the comprehension questions correctly.
Today Gracyn learned the difference between an analog clock and a digital clock. She was able to draw the hands on a analog clock and then write the same time on a digital clock.
Arianna and I read "The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs". She loved this story! Next we went into raz kids and she read a level 3 story on fall. Her favorite part was learning about apples. She colored a bright and beautiful red apple picture. In math we watched a clip on counting on. The little girl used cards and trucks to demonstrate how to count on. We ended our fun session watching her favorite Go Noodle video "Roller Coaster".
Today Gracyn reviewed her spelling words. She wrote them one time each. Then we completed her morning work together. We read several fun stories today including "The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs". It was a silly version of the story told from the Wolf's perspective. Next we learned about verbs. Gracyn had to read various words on cute snail pictures and color the words that were verbs. She did great and enjoyed this. She took her time coloring the snails beautifully. Next we continued her lesson on the life cycle of a butterfly. She had to color pictures and then cut and place them in order of the cycle. We used words "first, next, then, last, and finally" to describe the pictures. We read a Raz Kids level D story on butterflies. We ended the last few minutes watching her favorite Bible video, Noah's Ark.
