Typical Thursday

Today was a pretty regular day in every respect. We had silent reading and checked homework first thing in the morning. We took a phonics quiz. We discussed the idea of schedules. We took a while to really read and discuss the story "Through Grandpa's Eyes" which explores how a young boy uses his imagination to help him empathize with his blind grandfather. We continued listening to The Wind in the Willows. We took a math test. The results should be on the gradebook soon. After lunch we discussed corrected the math test. Since we had a lot of homework scheduled for the evening, I gave them ample time to get started. Some may even have finished everything, but it would be helpful if parents checked it over to make sure there were no points on which they were confused.

Homework: (1) Study spelling. (2) Do "Through Grandpa's Eyes" study sheet. Be sure to use complete sentences, and do not start any sentence with a pronoun. (3) Do "Dividing by 2 and 5," Math, page 201, numbers 2-26 only. (4) Do "Dividing by 3 and 4," Math, page 202-203, numbers 2-35 only.
