We had another very successful day. We also enjoyed more of our book, Christmas in Camelot. They brought the book home again to read chapters 4-6. Please remind them to return the books even if they do not choose to read to an adult. We will use them daily until we are through with it. Since I am squeezing it in between all that is mandatory, it may take several days.
Today we worked with vocabulary, as well as literary parts of a story. We made up actions to help us remember the words and their meanings. We used bleak, turrets, surge, cloak, deserted (as in empty), and gnawing today. We used these in sentences and matched them to their definitions. We also reviewed chapters 1-3 and answered a few questions, as well as filled out a t-chart to compare what Jack and Annie expected from Camelot, and how they actually found it.
We did a review page in math, covering multiple skills we have covered thus far.
We also read about soldiers we had in Oklahoma many years ago for social studies.
For science we did our 5th observation of Max, the Pumpkin. He has a lot of mold on him right now. There was a lot of condensation in the jar today,
We also started on our program for the morning meeting Friday. We will be leading it this Friday, December 1. It starts at 7:45, if you want to watch it. Every child who wants a speaking part will get one.
Have a great evening.
