Thursday – Jan. 12 – calendar, 100 chart – Quinn showed Stephen how to count to 100 on the chart and he was amazing!
Stephen recognizes numbers 1-14 but after working with Quinn, he was able to identify through 20. His homework is to count groups of 1-10 and match to numbers. Anna still confusing some of her teens. Gwendolyn identified numbers through 100. She can write numbers 1-20 but her printing is poor and she says she has never used lined paper – same with printing letters. I am sure she will master it quickly once it is introduced.
Language Arts: Quinn read word cards but had difficulty blending – he didn’t practice over vacation and repetition is
crucial for him. Homework – blending flash cards. Anna and Gwendolyn read through word cards quickly. Started them both on ‘The Wright Group’ books and gave them each one to read for homework. Introduced the sound of ‘c’ to Stephen. He is not completely aware of how to isolate initial sounds.

Read the book “Unicorn’s Golden Horn” and gave them a comprehension sheet – did the unicorn floor puzzle as a group –Quinn didn’t really care to participate. Took a long walk and picked flowers, watched a huge black bee buzz from flower to flower, observed a baby black snake slithering through the leaves, found rocks that they could use as chalk and drew pictures on the sidewalk.
