This morning, Alexandra played with a math match puzzle with self-correcting puzzle pieces that only fit their matching pair. First, she matched 10 pairs of cards that reinforced the concept of counting. Then, she matched 10 pairs of cards that introduced the concept of addition and 10 pairs of subtraction cards. We finished with a counting to 100 video.

Alexandra completed her interactive calendar, read her sight words, finished her calendar talk, put together her daily sentence puzzle, worked on her phonics activities, and had Storytime.

Today, Alexandra and I used a rainbow hundreds chart to count to 100 by 1s and 10s while listening to a count to 100 song. Then, she counted groups of dinosaurs and wrote addition sentences to match with sums to 10. Finally, Alexandra completed a cut-and-paste activity on matching numerals and tally marks to groups of dinosaurs.

Alexandra completed her interactive calendar activities and changed the calendar from March to April. She read her sight words. She wrote her numbers from 1-30. She finished her calendar talk activity. She put together her daily sentence puzzle. She worked on her phonics activities. She had Storytime.

This morning, Alexandra counted the pieces of a new dinosaur puzzle before putting it together. Then, she worked on a dinosaur sticker craft to help reinforce number recognition, fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and concentration. She matched the numbers on the dinosaur sticker of her choice to the colored gems on the instruction sheet. Then, she carefully removed the gems and placed them on the corresponding numbers.

We sang and played the drum pad along to songs about dinosaurs.

Alexandra completed her interactive calendar, read her sight words, finished her calendar talk activity, put together her sentence puzzle, worked on her phonics activities, and had storytime.

Alexandra had her first class today, which was a "getting to know you" session. We talked about her artistic interests, and she expressed a deep love for unicorns and dinosaurs. She created an abstract marker drawing, experimenting with color and composition, showing a free-spirited and imaginative approach to art. We spent the last ten minutes watching and analyzing an episode of The Land Before Time, using it as a discussion point for animation techniques and artistic storytelling.

First, I read a book to Lexi about colors and then she asked to read it; as it involved repetitive phrases and picture clues, it facilitated Lexi's ability to read along. Next, she participated in a guided reading exercise and read the words putting her finger underneath each word as she read it. She then drew a picture using the colors that were identified in the book.

We read a book together.

We discussed specific words.

We then discussed if Alexandra's unicorns were hungrier or less hungry than Oscar.
