Lesson Outline
Nicholas was excited when informed we would be moving to a new location and told that he could decorate his new "office" with the Thanksgiving stickers he received today. He then proceeded to get settled and reviewed the skills learned in Wednesday's session, with Nicholas identifying 4 different letters and the different stretch and bounce sounds they make when spoken. Nicholas required a few additional prompts during today's session to elicit and engage his attention; he shared that he had eaten a lot during the day and had two slices of pie at school - apple and pumpkin, which may have contributed to increased motoric activity, greater distractibility, and a bit of an upset stomach. Today's session focused on identifying the letter 't'. We first began by using green play dough to make the lower and upper case letter. Nicholas then completed an arts and crafts activity designed to reinforce and consolidate letter recognition, identification, and visual discrimination skills. Using varying materials including construction paper, googly eyes, assorted feathers, scissors, crayons and a glue stick, Nicholas cut out varying shapes resembling letters and created an artsy and colorful Thanksgiving turkey. He noted that when he made and cut out the feet to the turkey after writing the letter 'w,' it resembled the letter 'm' when viewed upside down - which was viewed from both below the table and by turning the paper around. Nicholas was able to discriminate between the two letters, but he required prompts to make the connection between the letter 'N' and the first letter of his first name. Nicholas ended the session by coloring upper and lower case 't's on his Thanksgiving turkey and identifying different foods that began with the letter when prompted. He was excited that he was going to see his dad who was home for this holiday and left in a spirited mood, clutching his Thanksgiving turkey, stickers, lollipop, and sporting a huge smile.
