Dylan enjoyed an activity in which he was asked to create his own animal and then answer questions about what the animal ate and drank, where it lived, how it regulated its body temperature and what it did to survive. Dylan put a lot of thought into his answers, particularly those involving survival of his animal. He listened to 'The Cat in the Hat' and then did very well circling the correct picture to answer questions about the story. He responded, in writing, to the prompt, 'If the cat in the hat came to your house, how would you get him to leave?' We worked on blending long i words with the consonant, long i, consonant silent e spelling pattern. Dylan benefited from reminders that the vowel is long when the silent e is at the end of the word. He practiced handwriting, phonics and spelling by writing the name of the picture below it. Pictures included the long i, long a, short a or short i sound. Dylan did well playing 'Addition Connect 4'. Lastly, Dylan enjoyed participating in a oral direction activity.
