Journey's Jargon-Lesson 11
Comprehension: We journeyed back to DRAWING CONCLUSION during this cycle. We focused on Humorous Fiction. This is a more difficult skill to identify and find details to support the conclusion. We read "Clothesline Clues to Jobs People Do to highlight this skill. The children used the text and the picture to draw a conclusion about the job a person has on the clothesline. We then followed up by drawing and coloring their own clothesline with a job they want to do when they grow up.
Grammer: We talked about THREE TYPES of SENTENCES. We reviewed telling/statement sentences as well as question sentences. We added COMMAND sentences this cycle. We discussed how these types of sentences often begin with an action word.
Phonics: Our spelling words last cycle were words that added -s and -es to a base word. We continue to focus on breaking words apart into syllables.

Journey's Jargon-Lesson 12
Grammer: We have continued our discussion of types of sentences. We have added an EXCLAMATION SENTENCE this cycle. We are identifying the difference between the four types of sentences. We are reviewing what a sentence begins with and the type of punctuation is at the end of each of them.
Phonics: Our spelling words this cycle are focusing on our first set of VOWEL PAIRS. The words have the long "a" vowel sound because of the words either have "ai" or "ay". The children are really enjoying using the Word Work apps on the iPad.

Math Moments
We moved into Unit 5 late last week. It is a welcome break from computation as we work through geometry and the vocabulary that goes along with this concept.
