Today was a good day getting back into our routine after
the long weekend. We started lesson 11 of language arts. We learned the
robust words fellow, executive, filthy, and kin. We also took a
pre-spelling test. For center work we wrote a friendly letter to our
star student, listened to reading and took notes during the story, as
well as writing our vocabulary words in a sentence.
We stamina built for 29 minutes! Woohoo!
After lunch we
did a social studies lesson on government. We talked about the branches
of government and what they do. Then we had PE followed by library.
We took a snack break then got into math. In math we reviewed doubles
plus one and doubles minus one. Then we worked to create and solve story
problems. We talked about story problems with collection of
information, comparison story problems, and hidden information problems.
We also worked with two-step story problems. This last one is quite
tricky for us.
We ended the day with a santa writing activity that will lead into a fun craft!
