We had a lot of fun on Friday learning about how light reflects and refracts, as well as learning how the eye works and experimenting with how our eyes work together to give us a 3-D picture of the world. We got to read chapter 6 in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and learned some new vocabulary such as: treason, fraternizing, Imperial, and differ. We talked a little bit about what happens on Inauguration Day and why it is always a historic day for our country. We also had our class picture and everyone looked great for it!
I got the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe quiz from Wednesday grades and sent that home with the students Friday. While the students overall did a good job on the test I noticed that as a class we had some weaknesses in using context clues to figure out words, understanding figurative language, and in identifying parts of speech in real life examples. Those will definitely be some literary devices we work on in the upcoming weeks as we continue to read. If you want to help work on those things from home, we will especially be focusing on parts of speech, similes, metaphors, personification, and summarizing what they have read in their own words. And please encourage your student to return to the text as a reference. They will be allowed to use their books during all Lion, Witch, and Wardrobe quizzes and tests and becoming familiar with the text as well as learning how to go back to it for answers will help them further on the tests.
