FIAR: J & P

Read Owl Moon by Jane Yolen

Social Studies Day

Relationship between father and child - talked about special times spent with adults. What made the time special? How did it make you feel?

Rules - talked about rules and reasons for rules. Discussed what happens if rules get broken/consequences. Asked if there were any rules we have that they didn't know a reason for and that got a good discussion going. Good way to build trust!

Maturity, self-control, bravery - defined each term and then read certain qsentences out of the book and asked J which of the 3 was the sentence describing about that girl.

Setting - When/where did the story take place

First-time experiences - Asked if there were any FTE's they remembered and how they felt looking forward to them. Also asked if there is anything they are looking forward to doing for the first time now - some responses: riding a horse, driving, seeing a football game)

Brain Quest: J

pgs 68-71 - colors; ordinal numbers; punctuation marks; flags; fairy-tale literature; spelling; greater than/less than; grammar; calendar (needs work!); animal ID; science; Spanish words; clocks; sports

History: J & P

PB - Millard Fillmore - didn't do well with review of past presidents (forgot Tyler and Taylor), my fault for taking a week off with no review, though!

Math: J

Reading: P

Coloring: J, P & C

Asked kids to draw a picture of a special time they have spent with an adult. They all chose to draw a time when they had taken a walk with Boy Pa and things they saw while they were on the walk. J saw trees and houses. P & C apparently both saw tornadoes.
