This morning, Kellan answered review questions on selecting the different models to show multiplication and he shaded fraction strips to compare fractions. Then, Kellan continued to work on the equivalent fractions coloring activity which he struggled to complete for homework. He colored pictures two different colors to model two different fractions before determining whether the fractions represented the same amount of a whole and were equivalent. For homework, Kellan was assigned 3-digit subtractions problems.

Kellan was given his checklist to update with his current progress. Kellan was given time to complete another page of his book.

Kellan drew illustrated definitions for fossils, trace fossils and preserved remains. He practiced his reading comprehension.

We reviewed practices for good readers. Then we read the short story, "How to Ignore a House on Fire." We focused on Kellan slowing down for proper pronunciation of words. He also used a ruler to track his reading.

Kellan dictated a story for me to type for him.

We read The Watsons Go to Birmingham and discussed it.

Kellan began with review questions on interpreting and completing missing picture graph data and finding the sum of multi-digit numbers. Then, Kellan worked on a coloring activity to find equivalent fractions. He colored pictures two different colors to model two different fractions before determining whether the fractions represented the same amount of a whole and were equivalent. Kellan was asked to continue working on the same activity for homework.

Kellan read about fossils: trace fossils and preserved remains. He worked on his reading comprehension skills. We discussed. He watched a video about fossils.

Kellan began a new unit of study pertaining to the Reformation. He learned new vocabulary words with connections to the Reformation. He reviewed the Bill of Rights he has learned. He made new caricatures of the new states and capitals he is learning about.
