January 11

Good day – Gwen was much more outgoing. They played with Quinn’s cars when they first arrived and she was very animated. They both seemed to enjoy Karate. Calendar – 100 chart – Read ‘Rapunzel Spoof’ to them, discussed rhymes within it, created our own rhymes to add to the story. Worked with each child individually – Quinn on numbers and printing Gg and Cc – Anna – printing Dd. Gwen numbers – can count to 100 but couldn’t always identify isolated numbers beyond twenty.
I have a feeling this was not a true assessment and that as I work with her I will find that she actually knows them all. Will spend more time with her tomorrow – really wish we could at least see a report card or find out what programs/books they were using with her at her old school. She knows days of the week.
Stephen has concept of days of week but doesn’t know the order yet - identified numbers 1-14 but got tired and asked if he could lay in the beanbag chair – almost fell asleep but revived for recess – maybe he was tired from Karate.

Recess – today all four younger kids played together and Bobby and JM played basketball.

Listening Center: ‘Giraffe’s Can’t Dance’ – comprehension worksheet – all got 100% but Stephen needed help circling his answers.

Played Alphabet Bingo with Quinn and Gwen while Anna and
Stephen played with leapfrog phonics letter game.

They all played together on iPads and shared with one another.
