Vocabulary unit 9, reading comprehension inference passage, book review
Lesson Outline
Today Gwendolyn finished up chapter 9 in her vocabulary book. Next week she will have her quiz on unit 9. When she was finished, she completed a short reading passage and the accompanying questions. When she was finished, we discussed the ones she had missed. We also reviewed adding suffixes to words, and the ultimate changes in both spelling and meaning. For the final few minutes of her session, she wrote a book review of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe". During our second session, we went to the library to return books and read from her new chapter book.
We practiced calculating speed and net force. Next we practiced applying Newton’s 3 Laws of Motion. Then we played a game where we answered questions using our knowledge of forces, speed, velocity, and Newton’s Laws.
Today Gwendolyn and I had an extra language arts enrichment time. We played scrabble together. She has gotten quite good and is starting to use more strategy.

We reviewed force, gravity, and friction. Then we practiced determining balanced and unbalanced forces. Next we learned that acceleration is any change in the speed or direction of an object’s motion. We saw that objects slowing down and changing direction are accelerating. Then we practiced calculating speed.
Today we learned the prepositions of place. We did a flashcard which will help us remember better. We also sang a song about them. We did some exercises applying the new vocabulary learned and she has homework due 4/4 on prepositions of place. We learned about Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuador.
