Nicole read the remaining section of El Perro. In order to have proper pronunciation, I read first and Nicole repeated. She then translated, with very little assistance. She added new vocabulary to her word bank as well as some grammar rules. When she completed this, she answered the questions from exercises F, G, H, and I.

Nicole and I continued the lesson by working out indirect measurement and scale drawing exercises. I explained how to draw the figures in indirect measurement exercises, and how we can make right triangles out of the pictures. We also looked at examples of maps and other drawings to see how scale factors allow us to make smaller drawings of larger, real-life scenarios. Nicole did a great job with the lesson.

Nicole and I co-read several chapters of her summer reading book, Kook. Nicole took notes, highlighted pertinant quotes, and looked up vocabulary words. I am pleased with the tools available to her on the Kindle app.

I began with a phonological awareness exercise, level K2#5, followed by a review of the sound deck with visual, auditory, and blending drills.

She went directly into answering the questions from Exercises A thru D - again with very little assistance. Nicole added vocabulary to her word bank and took notes on the grammar we reviewed.

Review what a series circuit involves. Work with the formula of how to determine the total resistance of a series circuit and solve for total resistance when 2-3 resistors are in the series. Examine how a parallel circuit is arranged, and how it differs from a series circuit. Show how the current flows through different pathways in a parallel circuit, allowing all bulbs to remain lit if one goes out.
