Lesson Comments
We used Ms. Janis's room and when I walked in Rosalina was resting. She said she was tired so I allowed her to take a little nap. We then went outside for a few minutes. We completed one activity in math and one in reading. She is extremely good in Math but struggles in Reading. Using rhyming words is very helpful.

Read a story and answer questions. Rosalina was a little shy in the beginning. It took her a few minutes to open up and start working with me. I read the story, a Native American tale of why dogs chase foxes.
