Liam and I began our session with a calendar activity - identifying the month, day of the week, date, time, weather, and his feelings. Liam then completed a warm-up sheet focusing on math skills. Lastly, Liam completed Lesson 5.2 Use a Table to Multiply & Divide - using reasoning and the relationship between multiplication and division to find basic facts - completing guided practice, independent practice, and problem-solving problems.

Liam watched a brain pop video on matter, and he successfully answered all the comprehension question about the video. He was able to identify the definitions of a solid, liquid, and a gas, and match each word with its definition. He played a match game with pictures of solids, liquids and gasses, and was able to put them in their proper groups. He properly read his homemade Barometer and predicted that today would be a good weather day. He participated in an experiment that produced a chemical reaction when he mixed baking soda with vinegar. The result was that the balloon attached to the water bottle blew up. He was quite impressed.

Liam completed a reading comprehension article on Albert Einstein, and answered written comprehension questions pertaining to the story. He learned what a couplet was and wrote a 4 line poem of his own. He watched an instructional video on how to draw a cartoon character of Albert Einstein. When he finished drawing his character, he cut it out and taped it on to his poem.

Liam and I began our session with a calendar activity - identifying the month, day of the week, date, time, weather, and his feelings. Liam then completed a warm-up activity focusing on math skills. Liam completed Lesson 5.1 Patterns for Multiplication Facts - using structure and properties to explain patterns for multiplication facts. Liam also used his multiplication chart for reference - completing guided practice, independent practice, and problem-solving problems. Lastly, Liam completed ten minutes on Math Prodigy focusing on data relationships, paying close attention to the key that is given and multiplication grids.

Liam imaged, read, spelled, and manipulated sounds in two-syllable words. He used syllabication rules to break a list of 20 words into syllables before reading them. We read and discussed chapter two of ‘Horrible Harry in Room 2B.’

Liam completed a reading comprehension activity covering the life and accomplishments of Albert Einstein. We discussed important story details, and he wrote notes in his notebook about these facts. He made notations in his Barometer Log indicating that the Barometer reading today indicated a good weather day. We researched the properties of magnets, and watched a video explaining how magnets work. We continue our study of solids, liquids, and gasses.

Liam and I began our session with a calendar activity – identifying the month, day of the week, date, time, weather, and his feelings. Liam then completed a warm-up activity focusing on math skills. Liam completed a 'review what you know' activity on topic 4 - reviewing vocabulary such as dividend, divisor, factor, product, and quotient; multiplication facts; and division facts. Lastly, Liam completed fifteen minutes on Math Prodigy - reading bar graphs and plotting data focusing on data relationships. We will begin Topic 5 Fluently Multiply & Divide Within 100 on Friday.

Today, I introduced Liam to our art class. We went over what the kids are currently working on. I then had him do a line work exercise so I could assess where we should start. We started off with a step by step character drawing in the digital drawing software Procreate.

Liam began reading a reading comprehension story about Albert Einstein. As he read, he took notes in his notebook about Albert's life. We discussed story details, and he answered questions about what he read. He also read a poem about Matter. He learned about 3 important states of matter- solids, liquids, and gases. We did an experiment with an ice cube demonstrating that there is not a chemical change when a solid, ice, changes to a liquid, water, and then to a gas, only a physical change. He wrote about his experiment in his notebook. He watched a video on how to draw Albert Einstein's face. He drew his portrait in his notebook.

Liam imaged, read, spelled, and manipulated sounds in two-syllable words with affixes. He read and broke into syllables a list of 20 pattern words with 95%accuracy and spelled 10 of them with 90%accuracy. He read and visualized a short paragraph, then wrote an ending.
