The girls' previous teacher forewarned me that Laina had complained of a bit of a headache at the onset of class. We then reviewed a multitude of body parts which we had written on sticky notes and played a game of Pin the Tail on Laina, as she graciously offered to use her body chart for this exercise. We crafted a blind fold out of cloth pieces found in the classroom, and Laina was spun around and wherever her finger landed, she had to identify the body part closest and try to find the written word. The girls seemed to enjoy this activity; they required assistance, in the form of prompts, to find the body parts identified on the pink sticky notes. A few of the 3-letter words, such as ear, were correctly identified, and the girls identified the corresponding beginning sounds.

We then reviewed patterns and used our recently acquired learning gains to replicate color pattern using Lego blocks. While doing this, we sang nursery rhymes that repeated the chorus, noting the repetition of the chorus in songs and improvising new lyrics to the other verses.

We concluded the session by playing a game of Twister. This was a fun way to review right and left and body part correspondence - and the girls were excited to take turns participating in the activity, spinning the wheel, and seeing how many of their classmates wanted to join in the activity which concluded the day's session. Prior to their departure from school today, the girls were reminded to take home a notification about an upcoming trip to Butterfly World on 3/28 requiring parental consent.
