Vocabulary Skills:
We read a couple more stories from Weighty Word, "Dogmatic" and "Expedient". Ask your child what these new words mean! The kids are getting the hang of creating their visual images for new words. They are also becoming more comfortable with creating a Word Document on Office 365. That is a fantastic skill for these kiddos!
Unit Study:
We worked a bit more on our mystery stories by having a peer read the story outline to check to see if it makes sense and has all the necessary parts. We also spent a bit of time writing more of our stories.
Novel Study:
We finished another chapter in our mystery, Big Bad Detective Agency. The kids are left wondering why Goldie ran off and what the Wolf and Ferkle will do next.
Affective Skills:
We continued our Mindfulness Practice with "Mindfulness Bells" and "Why Do Humans Experience Anxiety?" Both are great for developing inner calm.
