Dec. 5, 2007 - wks 10-11 (N-7 and N-8)
November 5-9 and 12-16, 2007
Our lessons at this point had become very inconsistent. Here’s what we did get done during these two weeks, sorry as it is.
Tuesday, 11/6, Part 1
WARM-UP The children reviewed all phonograms and rules using the cards. They took a REVIEW QUIZ on all review words. Homophones still need some work.
Tuesday, 11/6, Part 2
DICTATION I dictated Section N-7. Although there were some behavior issues because of our inconsistency, the children did very well on their POST-TEST.
This was the evening my sciatic nerve acted up, and since I was on pain meds the rest of the week, we had no more spelling lessons.
Tuesday, 11/13
WARM-UP Whew! It’s been a whole week since we worked on spelling. We need to do some review. The children reviewed phonograms and rules with the cards, and then they took a REVIEW QUIZ on all review words and the N-7 words I dictated last week. Amazingly, they did very well even though it’s been a week since they were given these words. Their retention this year is quite improved!
We took a break during the Thanksgiving week.
