: Santino worked on varied academic activities following his lunch. He seemed more comfortable and adept at using finger (or stacking) crayons as they permitted him greater control when attempting to write. He enjoyed stacking up the 10 crayons and selecting his color choice when tasked with ordering numbers. He connected numbers in their proper sequence, given several opportunities, achieving 100% accuracy. He then had to identify the object he drew. Santino correctly identified 4 out of 5 of the pictures correctly. He correctly identified the wheels on a car, and scissors, demonstrating good object identification skills. We also worked on position words, and Santino followed my directives, placing the objects I specified in various positions around the room. Santino continues to improve his ability to follow 2-step directives upon initial request. He enjoyed completing a hands-on science activity, correctly labeling 4 parts of a plant when queried. To help him connect to the activity on a personal level, Santino helped me water outdoor plants. It was a fun and productive session that culminated in a tour of classrooms, followed by outdoor play. On our tour of a classroom, Santino was asked to identify a picture. He correctly identified it as an octopus. We counted its legs, using one-to-one number correspondence. I then asked him if he knew how to spell the word 'octopus,' and he spelled the word correctly from memory, independently, and I wrote it on the whiteboard as he spelled it. He also replied with the correct number of legs, counting from one until he reached the correct number, 8. I configured the 'O' in the word octopus into an 8 to help integrate the number with the word in his visual memory and consolidate gains. I am very pleased to see Santino demonstrate these skills, and he was afforded I-pad time to reinforce his efforts and performance gains.
