Arianna worked on comprehension reading passages and answering questions about the passages

Arianna enjoyed summarizing the major points in book one of the Harry Potter series, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone." *characters *setting *problems and solutions *How does Harry first learn he is a wizard? *Where does Harry live in the Dursley's home? *How do the children get rid of Hagrid's dragon? *Which magical subject would you be most excited to study at Hogwarts? Why? *How would Harry be different if Dumbledore decided he should be raised in the magical world, instead of with the Dursleys?

I was a substitute for Indigo for 30 minutes today. We played alphabet bingo and alphabet connect four. I read two books, The Princess and the Pea and Hercules. Indigo is so much fun to teach.

I substituted for 30 minutes with Indigo today. I did an abbreviated Orton-Gillingham lesson with her, focusing on letter identification and sounds. We played a phonics dice game, identifying letters and sounds. We then played alphabet bingo, again focusing on both letter identification and sounds. We concluded the session reading "The Princess and the Pea." It was so much fun to spend time with Indigo. She is so bright and engaging!

* We reviewed the same words from last week reinforcing the correct spelling of these words. These words are from the first 40 most commonly written words.
* Maverick reviewed the short/long vowel sounds in nonsense and real words
*Syllables- “closed” (CVC/ C) and “open” (VCV) syllable patterns- I gave him many nonsense and real words to divide and read. He needed to plug in a short or long vowel after dividing the word into syllables, giving practice while working towards mastery of this reading pattern.
* Test taking strategies were reviewed and practiced. He was given a practice assessment from the “FSA Practice Test Book” in which he had to apply the test-taking strategies. This activity had 2 short written responses. The RACE format of answering questions was introduced and will be used when asked to answer short answers.
R-Restate the question
A-Answer the question
C-Cite evidence form the passage
E-Explain the evidence

We started with a game of Alphabet Bingo, voicing all letter sounds. I taught a quick lesson on the concept of closed and open syllables. We then played a game of Connect 4 with the pieces labeled with either open or closed words. We then played a game of sight word Jenga which Kaniyah loved. She wanted to write on the board so I dictated a simple sentence, emphasizing capitalization and punctuation. We then switched places and she dictated a sentence to me. We found a label maker and Kaniyah made a label to put her name on the door and made one to take home. We concluded the session with a game of Slap! with closed syllables. Great job today!

We are reading 'Are My Mother?' Kaniyah wanted to read it on her own and she's doing great! We are working on looking at the pictures to figure out unknown words, sounding out, and asking "Does that make sense?"

We are adding to our word wall and reviewing by singing and dancing!(-;

We read Hop on Pop, sounding out words and looking through the word from the beginning, middle, to the end. We covered exclamation points and looking at the pictures to figure out the words.

Worked on rhyming words with /MY/ and /AT/, past tense, pronouncing the /TH/ in mother. Continued to read Are You My Mother? Tracking print with finger, chunking words and using pictures to figure out unknown words.
