We warmed-up using the resistance bands for upper and lower body strengthening. We practiced punches and kicks. We completed sparring drills for 20 minutes and soccer drills.

Math – Kelcy completed a test on Unit 2. Then he learned that area refers to the amount of space a two-dimensional figure takes up. One-dimensional figures have no volume. Kelcy found the area of a rectangle by counting individual square units or by multiplying the length and width of the figure. Next he learned that the array of tiles must not be too far apart or close together but touching on the sides for the area to be accurate. Then he learned by measuring square units that they can be inches or centimeters and when you multiply them they become units squared. He understands this concept.

Kip and I began our session with Kip completing fifteen minutes of iReady. I then printed our calendar for the week and observed the assignments to be completed. For language arts, this week is 'Read Across America Week'. We listened to a read aloud, "Cat in the Hat" by Justin Bieber. Kip then wrote an opinion piece in his journal, responding to the prompt, 'If you could interview Dr. Seuss, what would you say to him?' Kip had wonderful questions to ask Dr. Seuss such as "what is your favorite book?" and "how many books have you written?" Kip and I then explored Dr. Seuss' website and played a game from the website. Kip then read aloud, "The Eye Book" by Dr. Seuss.

Kelcy demonstrated some of his soccer skills outdoors for the last half-hour of the day. He interacted with two other students and made several goals, kicking the ball into the net with good aim, accuracy, and force. We discussed foot dominance, and Kelcy explained that although he was right-handed, he was left foot dominant and demonstrated this preference as he made goals. We discussed soccer terminology, and Kelcy explained and demonstrated moves such as the 'L-turn' and 'scoop'used against defenders. He showed me how to stop the ball dead on the end line. We ended the session researching Lionel Messi, Kelcy's favorite player, learned that he hails from Argentina, is 33 years of age, and that he is a soccer player with the Argentina national team. Kelcy knew that the term 'footballers' is used for soccer in Argentina. He was happy and proud to tell me that his team won the championship in yesterday's game in Jupiter, and that the final score was 3-5. He politely thanked me and said goodbye before leaving when his mom arrived to pick him up.

Math – Kelcy continued to learn about the new topics in Lesson 14 which involve finding the area of a plane figure in unit squares. He practiced finding the area of squares and rectangles that he designed. Then Kelcy practiced multiplication facts he needed to work on.
Science – We checked our science experiment after three days of soaking and recorded the results in our science workbook. After the flowers sat in the water over the weekend we observed a more noticeable color change to the petals of the flowers in the blue and green water. This further proved that the water that is absorbed at the roots travels from the stem out to the flowers. Then Kelcy made a hypothesis on what would happen to the petals of the flowers if we split the stem and put each part in two different colors.

Shooting action, editing and adding sound.The process of filmmaking by learning the capabilities of the iPad camera, how to edit footage and enhance video with sound effects through capturing sound and downloading royalty free sound to add to his film. Kip was very good at all the aspects of learning how to film. His homework is to watch 5 more films and explore camera shots and sound effects in these films.

Black History Month presentations

Opened with a light dynamic stretch to loosen muscles followed by a light dynamic warmup to get the blood flowing. Kelcy and I continued to work on baseball, we focused his batting average staying consistent regardless of the types of pitches.

Kelcy and I reviewed the questions at the end of the chapter to prepare for his chapter test next Tuesday. We reviewed man-made adaptations to the environment, pollution, conservation and recycling and interpreting bar and pictographs.

Kip and I began our session with a discussion on his 'Black History Month' project and if he is prepared to present. We completed a grammar activity together on verbs and contractions, finding the grammatically correct sentence. We took turns reading aloud, "Patriotic Pizza". Kip then answered questions on sequencing and the connection of paragraphs. Our story provided us with a Margherita pizza recipe and Kip cut it out to take home. Kip then completed a grammar activity, practicing proofreading. Kip fixed fifteen mistakes. We ended our session with submitting completed assignments on google classroom.
