Alexandra worked on several skills this afternoon. She began with a tracing activity and demonstrated excellent fine motor control and fine-finger dexterity using a pencil; she prefers a short pencil as she has greater control with it. I introduced word problems in this session and Alexandra was permitted to work with manipulatives to arrive at the answers. I introduced additional terminology that offered clues as to whether addition or subtraction was the strategy to use in each problem. For other math exercises, we used dominoes and Alexandra counted the dimples on the tiles to arrive at answers to the addition problems. She enjoyed receiving sparkly stickers for task completion and following directions promptly. During her break, Alexandra clearly enjoyed assembling a marble run with her sister and both guessed which trajectory the marbles would follow depending on how the connecting pipes were configured. Alexandra joined her sister for the last five minutes of class and they both took turns on an educational game which incorporated several of the skills acquired in class and called on the execution of higher order cognition to achieve successful outcomes.
