We practiced operations on fractions and mixed numbers. Then we practiced operations on decimals. Next I introduced Drew to the first few topics in Pre-Algebra. I gave him some practice problems to do this weekend.
Drew read an article titled. "The Man and the Snake." He answered comprehension questions using critical thinking skills to arrive at his conclusions. He answered questions about vocabulary words using context to determine the meaning of the words. He practiced combining two simple sentences into a compound sentence. He learned to combine these sentences by joining them with a conjunction.
