We read 'One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish' together. Jack enjoyed the rhyming and often guessed the last word of the line by choosing a rhyming word.We talked about what makes words rhyme and named as many rhyming words as we could for -at, -an and -ook. Jack did well determining which two of three short a pictures rhymed. He was able, with minimal help, to state an additional word that rhymed with the two pictures. We practiced short a and short i. Jack did well blending short i words to choose the word that named the pictures. He read, 'The Pig and the Ant' , a book that uses short a and short i words with limited sight words. Jack benefits from encouragement to take his time and blend each sound of the word. Jack did very well with activities based on the concepts of same and different. He worked on writing the numbers 3 and 4, and reviewed the numbers 1 and 2. Jack practiced picture addition. The addition strategy of counting on will be introduced next week. Jack enjoyed a listening skills activity in which he was able to play with and build upon a Lego train. He is dictating a 'chapter story' about the train. We will add to the story a little bit each time until it is complete. Lastly, he worked on 'Math Seeds' practicing picture addition, number line addition and identifying two sets with the same number of objects.
