Read pg 111 in book. Talk about what a soldier is and who veterans are. Watch "Veteran's Day Facts, Games, and Song for Kids" video and talk about what is learned. Finish by reading "Grandpa's Big Veteran's Day Surprise."

Libby and I continued to work on her fall art project.

Review what is on the US flag and what each part means. Play the Star Spangled Banner and what the Pledge of Allegiance says and how they are a part of our nation. Read 104-105 of the text about the Statue of Liberty.

Libby and I played pretend in her dollhouse for her drama class.

Review what a mayor, governor, and president are and how they are voted in. Show the sample ballot and how it helps to prepare to vote for real. Review pgs 94-95 and 98-99 about leaders and laws.

Review the mini book created and how we have symbols that are an important part of our country. Read textbook chapter 4 lesson 2 and do workbook pages as support.

Libby used glitter pens, and writing paper to practice writing her sight words (and, on, the) and short vowel words. With the dry erase board, she practiced reading the words I wrote for her. I read another Magic School Bus book and Jack Prelutsky poems.

Libby and I continued to work on the concept of comparing numbers 0 to 10. Today, she compared groups of objects in scattered configurations by counting and finding the number in the counting sequence. This helped to expand the understanding of comparing when objects are not lined up 1-to-1. Together we worked on the lesson's problems while focusing on good counting techniques and understanding the vocabulary equal to, greater than, and less than.

Libby and I practiced the following yoga poses: butterfly, rocking boat, balloon breathing, cow and cat, reverse table, downward dog, plow and headstand.

We played on the piano and talked about harmony and dissonance. We also played some very basic 3 to 4 note melodies. We played some rhythms on the drums set, and played along to some songs.
