Lesson Comments
Quinn and Anna did a fine job today. They were excited about the break; but sad about a friend who had died this morning. They played the number game well and we practiced the days of the week as well.
Quinn was out with broken arm. Anna: Low key morning because she kept saying her tummy hurt. Calendar, 100 chart. Worked on spelling words- showed her how to play Boggle - she loved it. Practiced printing 2 and s. Read her the book 'Dream of Dolphins Dancing'- This is a long book but she sat for the entire 35 minutes and listened intently. Discussed the story and answered oral comprehension questions. Dot-to-dot with numbers 1-16. 1-16 hopscotch. John MIchael played Turkey toss with her and helped her do puzzles. She left after lunch.

Calendar, 100 chart. They were almost an hour late this morning due to traffic and they could not stay focused because their Poppy was taken to the hospital this morning. Anna could not stop talking about it. So, we made cards for him - drew pictures, practiced printing while copying greetings from the board. Went for a walk with Mom and Mom came and played with us. They were better after lunch. Practiced reading phrases and sentences on the board. Reviewed sound of /s/ and did initial sound worksheet. Wrote 2's with chalk - Anna finally has it mastered - Quinn still not consistent. Did puzzle word book together.
