We began the first half of the session with the girls discussing and deciding upon which poses they wished to showcase when being traced onto butcher paper; both decided on very similar poses. We then used a detailed anatomical poster with which to identify various body parts; the girls pointed to the corresponding body parts when asked. After tracing each girl's body on the paper, I began labelling different body parts on sticky notes for a subsequent activity to be completed tomorrow as there are about 20 body parts to be labelled. The girls had said they were going to wear skirts and dresses for today's activity but instead wore other outfits. This was fine and they were told they could color in their outfits tomorrow, after their outlines were defined with a sharpie. Both Gabriela and Laina seemed to be looking forward to this activity.

After the first hour, I read "The Hat in the Cat" book by Dr. Seuss. Gabriela was particularly interested in the story and read along with me. We pointed out various details in the story. Particular attention was paid to the rhyming sounds and to making predictions about what would happen ("the cat was going to drop everything"..."mom was going to be very mad when she came back to the house.") The word 'patterns' was introduced here. Gabriella understood what the word pattern meant (a repeated decorative design), and she correctly pointed out that the colors in the cat's hat were red and white. She then colored in the red and white design on a cut-out hat using a marker – and made her own pattern on mini sentence strips. Laila said, "I am too tired to do this right now," so she was allowed to watch and abstained from the activity. Gabriela completed the pattern exercise and received a grape lollipop (her favorite) for her perseverance on the exercises, as well as her good ability to follow directions. She was apprised of tomorrow's activities and readied herself for dismissal, as it was now time to go home.
