Today we reviewed the cardinal directions song. We then found the directions in the room. Danny can find them when I name them but is still having difficulty naming them himself. We also reviewed his town, state, country and planet. We enjoyed a Brain Pop Jr. learning video about U. S. Symbols. We saw that symbol is an object or item that stands for something. We learned that the Bald Eagle, Statue of Liberty, Liberty Bell, and American Flag all stand for the liberty and the freedom of our country. We also saw that monuments and buildings can also be symbols for America. We generated a word list about things we learned about and Danny copied them: symbol, flag, bald eagle, bell, and Statue of Liberty. We then read statements and found the American Symbol (picture) to match the statement.
Note: Danny is doing a great job learning to use the iPad. He is able to find the apps we use. He is also able to search a title on Brain Pop Jr. using a provided word source. He is navigating through the video and quiz as well as typing in his name at the end for his score.
