Kelcy and I reviewed a chapter on the environment. He did well answering the 'Review Questions'. He learned about Sylvia Earle, one of the first female oceanographers, who worked to explore and save marine life. After reading about Earle, Kelcy asked if we could watch a video about her work. He was quite intrigued with her research. Additionally, Kelcy learned about bar graphs and pictographs. He did well interpreting the graphs.

Math – Kelsey completed a Review Quiz for Lesson 11 on his own, then we went over it together. Then we worked on drawing pictures and writing number sentences to show the relationship between division and multiplication in fact families. Since we needed more work on this we completed six fact families for multiplication and division. Then we worked on Math Dash which builds skills to solve multiplication and division problems.

Math – We practiced giving quotients for division facts with divisors of 8 and 9. We used the inverse relationship between multiplication and division to find the division facts. Kelcy completed 15 minutes of I ready.
Science – Big Idea 02, Week 03, Day 5: Why Do Dandelions Turn White and Fluffy? – We learned to use the vocabulary words condition, distribute, and seed coat. Then we learned to identify the seed coat, germ, and the parachute on a dandelion. Next we learned to describe the ways a seed can be distributed.

Kip and I began our session with Kip completing fifteen minutes of IReady. Kip completed a grammar activity, focusing on irregular verbs- has, have, had, fixing mistakes from a reading. Kip then completed a vocabulary activity working on completing the sentence and word associations with learned vocabulary words this week. We ended our session with completing our religion reading on praising and worshipping God; also focusing on devotions and faith words.

Kip continues to work well through Teams. We practice connecting and doing puzzles or solving problems while right down the hall from each other. This process is giving him practice so that he can be proficient from home.

Kip and I began our session with organizing his binders. This needed to be done as his binders were getting full of completed classwork. We then began taking turns reading aloud "Danger in Deep Space" which was scene 3 of our cliff hanger reading discussed previously. Kip then answered questions focusing on how the scenes relate to each other. Kip then completed a grammar activity, focusing on irregular verbs; past, present, and future tense. We then read our religion reading about how the church celebrates Jesus' life. We ended our session with an activity on the vocabulary discussed this week, choosing the vocabulary word that best completes each sentence and working with synonyms and antonyms of those words.

Kelcy participated in a a school wide presentation on snakes. He was able to touch and learn about two different kinds of snakes.

Math – We practiced identifying related multiplication and division facts for numbers 6 and 7. We practiced word problems involving division. Kelcy completed 15 minutes of I ready.

Science – Big Idea 02, Week 03, Day 3: Why Do Dandelions Turn White and Fluffy? – We learned that a seed’s coat is like a coat of armor that the seed wears. The seed coat is hard to protect the seed germ which is the living part of the seed on the inside of the coat. The seed germ is protected from being damaged and from becoming too dry.
Science – Big Idea 02, Week 03, Day 4: Why Do Dandelions Turn White and Fluffy? – We learned that dandelions have special parts that allow them to be distributed. Then we learned that most seeds float so they can also be distributed by water. Next we learned that animals help distribute seeds by eating them and the seed coat will protect the seed germ from being digested. Animals distribute seeds when they pass through them.

We discussed ways people affect their environment and, conversely, the way the environment affects people's lives. Adapting to a new environment or a changed environment was also explored. Sudden and drastic environmental changes due to natural disasters were discussed. We brainstormed ways to prepare for natural disasters. Additionally, we watched a 3-D video of actual footage of some natural disasters.

Kip and I began our session with Kip completing his STAR reading assessment. Kip then completed fifteen minutes of IReady. We then worked on vocabulary reviewing previously learned vocabulary words. We will continue working on this week's vocabulary words. We ended our session with beginning our religion reading, "How do we praise and thank God?"
