We read an article about the first Black football player in the NFL. I had Kellan read aloud, helping him break down unfamiliar words. Then I checked his comprehension of the text.
Kellan reviewed plains, plateaus and mountains. He watched a video on plains, plateaus and mountains. He reviewed the layers of the Earth and diagrammed them. He read a map showing the following landforms: plains, plateau, mountain, river, canyon, lake, peninsula and island.
Kellan wrote his spelling words in his journal and highlighted letters to remember. He wrote about the setting of The Watsons Go to Birmingham. We read the book and discussed it.
For today's review, Kellan solved a division with remainder word problem and he took a timed 6s fact check. Today's lesson looked at how to generate equivalent fractions using multiplication. Kellan and I worked on the lesson's examples, finding equivalent fractions by multiplying by fractions equal to one and drawing quick pictures as models.
Kellan read about Earth's layers and Earth's landforms. He diagrammed Earth's layers: crust, mantle and core. We discussed and viewed images of plains, plateaus and mountains.
