Lesson Outline
Since Santino learns a lot about objects and their properties through observation and manipulation, we put different objects in the pool to observe their buoyancy and see how they'd react. The objects included a sponge, a cork, plastic cups, a water bottle, badminton birdies, a ball, and some plastic toys. Santino particularly enjoyed squeezing the sponge and watching the water stream through his hands. He also positioned the sponge at various points on the slide and watch the effect of his actions. I verbally identified each of the objects as he manipulated them, and Santino occasionally repeated the word after me. He was reinforced verbally and with high fives whenever he did so. Initially, Santino did not want to leave the splash pool, but as I wrapped him in a towel, he was responsive to directives and we proceeded indoors. I changed him into dry clothes and Santino finished his bottle of fruit juice, but he did not opt to eat. Instead, we finger painted using water colors and Santino traced his name using a paint brush and paint, when provided with physical prompts to assist him and verbal prompts to redirect his attention when and if necessary. We then used a variety of musical instruments to produce different sounds and rhythms. I finished the session by reading him a short story, and Santino appeared relaxed and content for the few minutes until Ingrid arrived.
