Happy 2026...It was great to see everyone back to co-op!
In class today, we read the story "A Dream of Cream" and finished workbook pages Days 1 - 2, except for the cutting out words activity p. 175.
Then we had some playground time.
HOMEWORK: Days 3 - 5
***IMPORTANT CHANGE: For the Christmas break, we do want you to work on LESSON 12. (This week finish Lesson 11.)
After break, we will resume Lesson 13.
For Lesson 11 today, we did 3 things.
Read & discussed the story "Catch the Moon" in the new storybook. Day 1 a, b, Day 2 a, b
We reviewed the -ED and -ING words for Day 2 d.
We made books!! ...to review the story. Ask your student to read their book to you!! Day 2 b, c.
Today we had fun at our belated Thanksgiving party - thank you Miss Julie! Look for your student's coffee filter turkey craft!
Next Monday, we will continue Lesson 11.
Suggestions for this week:
Review and complete unfinished past Lessons.
Read lots of Christmas books together - as you read with your student - sound out words, identify action verbs, look for contractions.
I am attaching a PDF of some optional copywork pages to trace. I love copywork! It helps students with handwriting, good sentence construction, spelling, and more. These are a few pages about Christmas carols and include some pictures to color!
Today in class, we read the last story in the On the Farm book, "The Best Fort in the World."
We discussed forts, action verbs, synonyms, and antonyms. We practiced looking up words in a thesaurus and played Action Verb charades.
For Days 1-2, we SKIPPED 1: e, f. and 2: d, e, f
so you may choose to go over these sections with your student at home.
HOMEWORK:
Days 3 - 5. Also, next week we will take a BREAK from Lessons and have a Thanksgiving Party in class!!!
