Jase and I began our session with reading chapter eight of "Trapped in a Video Game" - focusing on reading accurately. Jase then reviewed decimal vocabulary words such as tenths, hundredths, and thousandths. Lastly, Jase continued working on Additional Practice 1.4 Understand Decimal Place Value. Jase will complete this activity tomorrow.

Jase completed a warm-up activity focusing on fourth-grade skills. This was easier for Jase and will allow Jase to review what he learned in fourth grade. Jase needed help with measuring length in centimeters, identifying sides on a pentagon, and two-digit by two-digit addition. Jase completed Lesson 1.4 Quick Check & Self-Assessment. We will continue practicing with Lesson 1.4 Understand Decimal Place Value. Lastly, Jase practiced writing decimals in standard form. Jase will complete six problems for homework (decimals in standard form and color the tenths) and return tomorrow, Thursday.

With a spinner game, Jase practiced consonant, vowel, consonant words with blends. With a bingo game, he practiced long vowel with silent e words. He read Who Was Walt Disney?

Jase completed a warm-up activity focusing on fifth-grade skills. Jase had difficulty with division, fractions as percentages, time, and angles. We are going to switch to fourth-grade skills for our warm-up activities to review fourth-grade material. Lastly, Jase completed Lesson 1.4 Understand Decimal Place Value Additional Practice activity - focusing on writing decimals in standard, expanded, and word form and identifying equivalent fractions. Jase has mastered identifying equivalent fractions. However, he still needs additional practice with writing decimals in different forms. We will continue focusing on Lesson 1.4.
