Day 13

We started today by finishing the wrighting about dawn that we worked on yesterday and as each boy finished he moved on to work on Lexia a compute program to work on phonics. In RAVE-O we read some more of George the Drummer Boy, one of the boys made the connection that George the Drummer Boy and Sam the Minuteman were the same story from different points of view. It was very exciting to see him get the concept on his own instead of being told. There was no tutoring today because the tutors are busy doing testing for other grades so we had a second language block where we started to paint day, the book that was used to introduce day was Roxaboxen, a story of a made up town made of rocks and wooden boxes.  After language we had math, different kids were getting pulled out for testing so we played RACK-O a card game that works on sequencing. During lunch three of the boys had shifts at a bake sale to raise money for charity, after lunch was art where the boys worked on covering their newspaper animals in paper pulp to make them colorful. Next was history where we did the farming activity I spent so long getting ready for yesterday afternoon. Now the boys are at gym.
