Tuesday's primary activity was learning about analogies. We did some together, then I gave the children a chance to do some on their own. This lesson works into our PETS activities on Analytical Thinking. The children did a great job. I will be throwing more analogies in as the year progresses just to keep them on their toes.
Brainwork this week was words that begin with E, but not EX words. Also they thought of things that are square. What can you come up with?
Next week we'll focus on writing a paragraph about frogs and toads. I've taken a short break from this series of lessons to work on vocabulary and classifying information in preparation of the writing process. We'll focus on main idea and supporting details.
Please let us know if you hear back from your flat person during their adventure. We love to share what they are doing while we are back here in St. Louis. We saw a picture of Flat Claudia enjoying Cabo San Lucas, Mexico this week.
The first newsletter of the year, along with book orders should have come home Tuesday. Book orders are due by next Friday, Nov. 11.
