Today Patrick completed work in his V/V book. He finished working on the story, Happy Hippo. He completed a word summary and responding to questions that referred to details and the main idea. He was able to recall the definitions and use them in sentences by the end of the lesson. He answered questions that require inferencing. These are trickier for him, but he was successful, after taking his time to formulate thoughtful answers. In his FF program, I moved him to the next level. This transition prompts SciLearn to reassess Patrick. He will begin a new program next week. He successfully completed most of the games and is prepared to move ahead. Great work, Patrick.
Patrick completed a vowel -b word sort with words like job, crib, bib, crab etc. Patrick sorted and spelled each word correctly. Next he applied the spelling to words with the same ending within sentences. Patrick completed a noun assessment. He did excellent 19/20 correct! Lastly, we began reading Flat Stanley. He is super excited about the book.
Today I introduced a new math game to Patrick, "Make a Number". He loved this game and was very successful with it. We played 2 rounds. He is doing great using strategies to support mental math. Next we did our math speed tests. Patrick completed 10 addition problems to 10 in 37 seconds. 100% accuracy, just working toward speed. We also worked on the commutative property and working to find different ways to find the same sum.

Patrick's C chord sounded great. He has made some adjustments in his fingering technique since last class, and the improvement is incredible. I really love seeing the evidence of his at home practice.
Patrick decided to research the bichon frise breed of dog. He practiced typing and using the internet in child-friendly websites to gather information. We discussed vocabulary related to using the computer and internet. He wrote complete sentences as he wrote about the bichon frise. He will give an oral report to Ms. Judie on this information.
Today Patrick continued in his FF program. He played Moon Ranch and Sky Gym. He beat his high scores in both brain games. Very exciting! In LB, Patrick worked on a story, Happy Hippo. He reviewed vocabulary words such as rustle, reeds, edge, etc. He was able to recall these meanings from yesterday's class. He completed activities which asked him to respond to questions which would demonstrate that he is able to make a picture in his mind. He did this for each sentence in the passage. Patrick completed a word summary by placing events into their proper order. Then Patrick completed the Word Summary portion of the activity. Patrick had a great day!
