Reading and spelling compound words with the v-e syllable first.

We read through "You are a Lion" yoga book and practiced the poses. We also added ball and boat balancing poses and spinal twist with rainbow arms. I helped Ayden practice handstands against the wall. We also did leg stretches with straps. Class ended with a relaxation to music and lavender lotion. We talked about the "corpse" relaxation pose.

In math today, Ayden started a new topic. He will be in Topic 4. He will be learning about the division meanings and facts. Ayden learned new vocabulary that he will be using throughout the new topic and from this point on. Some of these words include: division, dividend, divisor, quotient, divisible, and fact family. Ayden has not learned all of his multiplication facts yet, so I am expecting some content to be difficult for him. We will take our time to learn that multiplication and division have their own fact families, like addition and subtraction. This is why it is important that Ayden is studying ALL of the facts he has learned so far. He used manipulatives to model dividing objects. In FF he played Twisted Pictures, Book Monkeys, and Scrap Cat. I am going to make sure that I get a correct email address for you so that someone at home can see Ayden's progress weekly, in FF. I will send it on Fridays. This weekly report will provide the details of what Ayden has completed during the current week.

Ayden was practicing for the science play along with the other students, so we had no class today.

Today we reviewed prior lessons and introduced the U S. Constitution as the document that provides the framework for our national government. We discussed the three branches of government, and emphasized that, with the United States' emergence as an independent nation, the thirteen colonies became thirteen states. We addressed the concept of statehood, including the fact that each state has its own capital and branches of government. From this we segued into Florida as a state, because we are going to begin focusing on Florida next week. Ayden understands that states have capitals, and specifically stated the name of Florida's capital. We discussed the fact that, although the thirteen colonies were ruled by England until achieving independence, Florida was ruled by more than one other country, depending on the time period involved. Ayden asked a lot of good questions, answered my questions, and generally seemed to enjoy himself, as he told Judie when she came in at the very end of the session. A good day.

Creative writing- Worked on descriptive words to help the reader get a better picture.

Reading closed and v-e multi-syllable words. Ayden had a hard time staying focused today.
