Finger exercise, review , new pieces

Maya is flying through topic 5. She knows most of her facts at this point so it has been extremely useful. She can correctly express the multiplication properties she's learned. I'm so proud of her eagerness to forge ahead in this topic. Today she worked with factors 0 and 1 and 3. She also solved two step problems with some support. We will continue to practice word problems to improve this skill. She is required to determine which operations she must use. Maya did well in her FF program today.

Introduced suffix endings ed and ing. Maya was focused and on task. She did an awesome job today.

Maya scooped 3 syllable words into chunks to read.

Maya read 2 syllable words with the suffix endings ed and ing. She did a fabulous job on this.

Maya was introduced to the 7 times tables. She watched a brief video. We wrote them down to see that she only needs to learn 3 new facts. We created easy ways to remember these. She did great! Maya learned how to see patterns and determine if they are increasing or decreasing to solve the next number in a pattern. She also practiced using factors 2 and 5. Maya continued her FF program. In LB, Maya completed an activity regarding the last story. She needed some reminding to stay focused. It was the end of the day and I think she was very tired. She was able to complete the activity.

Review the activity "what do plants need" and observe all six plants. Measure and record in a table (worksheet) the height of each plant. Water 4 , and only one plant with nutrients with water. Discuss how does a plant's response to light and water help it to live and grow.

Maya read the fluency stories and we charted her progress. She is moving along nicely.

Maya and I continued reading Ch. 4 in her social studies book regarding immigration. We discussed making big decisions and the benefits and costs attached to the decision. I modeled an example of moving to Hobe Sound from Jupiter. Maya made the connection to her parents moving from a small apartment in Philadelphia to a larger home in Florida to be able to have a family. She also made connections with deciding if her family should go on different vacations or not. Great job!
