Tristan and I read a Nat. Geo. book about Prehistoric Mammals as our warm-up. He had many interesting ideas about the mammals and their modern-day relatives. Next, he read two chapters of "Henry and Mudge and the Great Grandpas." Between chapters, he played a Lumosity game that uses working memory.

This morning, Tristan worked on 3-digit addition with 3 addends up to 1000 by breaking the numbers into hundreds, tens, and ones. He also continued to practice recognizing equivalent fractions by finding the missing numbers of fraction pairs and using fraction strips. For homework, Tristan was assigned a facts sheet with mixed operations.

We played different sticking combinations on the practice pad and drum set, trying to play with a steady tempo.

Tristan did not complete our lesson.

We reviewed the benefits of using money rather than trading. The characteristics of money were also reviewed. We looked at currency of Canada and Mexico and compared that with US money.Tristan enjoyed a video that showed how American dollars are made.

Visual drill errors: y -/I/ and /E/ sounds; -tch, -dge, A_e
Blending drill: compound words with magic e syllabication (Ex. pancake, airplane, caveman)
Review: The sounds of y; sought out patterns in when y makes a consonant sound, vowel E or I sound. Then, using the strategy taught, Tristan worked to decode and sort y words into: y like yes, y like cry, y like baby

Tristan was given his wood panel for his display case, and we worked together to complete his Pokémon image.

Tristan completed a hands on activity, answering the essential question - 'how are physical properties observed?' filling out a chart describing the physical properties of five objects (lesson 2) and using a pan balance, finding the mass of the five objects in grams (lesson 3). Tristan did excellent writing in his chart in his science journal.

Tristan began with a warm-up on using models to find equivalent fractions, finding the perimeter, multi-digit addition and division, decimal word problems, and estimating angle measurements. Then, he answered questions online pertaining to a variety of concepts. Tristan found the missing numbers in division equations, wrote the missing numbers within equivalent fraction pairs, found the missing side lengths of perimeter problems, and used fraction strips to determine equivalent fractions.
