Today Patrick was not feeling well, so we began our session with our read aloud. I read 2 chapters of Flat Stanley, Flat Again. Patrick and I talked about the story making connections to and predictions about the events. Then Patrick read level C Mash the Potatoes. He was very reluctant to read, but did well once he got started. He kept confusing tomatoes with potatoes, so we had a few laughs with that:) After the story he sequenced the events using transition words with 100% accuracy. Then we discussed how Patrick enjoys cooking and decided we would prepare a Valentine's Day snack at school for the students and teachers. We researched a few snacks and Patrick decided to survey the kids to see what they would like to have. This will also be a writing project for Patrick to complete. Using sequence words he will describe how we prepare the snack.
