Lesson Topic
Matching and sorting and rhyming songs to engage and sustain attention to task at hand
Lesson Outline
Santino was in excellent spirits and enjoyed watching as I strummed the guitar and sang a fun interactive rhyming song. He was vocalizing in a singsong voice, laughing and shrieking happily. I selected the rhyming song, "Down By the Bay," which is engaging because it is an echo song which helps students recognize pitch and focuses on rhyming, a skill which can be fun to listen to and hear. I allowed Santino to echo me, the singer, and to create his own tunes. He seemed to greatly enjoy this activity. After this, I worked with Santino assembling some puzzles and assisted him in a matching and sorting activity. Santino was responsive to prompts, but required refocusing to sustain attention to the task at hand. I also had him accompany me outdoors to water the plants. Santino enjoyed touching and examining the plant that we have grown from seeds a few weeks ago. We both had watering cans and I helped Santino water some of the other plants in the garden. We then went indoors, washed our hands, and I read Santino 2 short stories as he drank his fruit juice from his bottle. A student came in to greet Santino and the two engaged in a sweet interaction echoing one another. Santino plucked the strings of the guitar, as the other student sang, modulating his voice and pitch. Santino remained engaged and content, laughing and happily vocalizing in a melodic voice until it was time for his next teacher to arrive.
