Loulie worked on final consonant sounds. She colored pictures that had the appropriate final consonant sound. Loulie continued to work with word recognition skills using ABCYA.com Fuzz Bug's Farm. In the game, she identified words with consonant blends. We share-read "Biscuit's Big Friend." We ended our session with a rhyming activity.

Loulie counted to 29. She then wrote numbers 1-15. She practiced filling in the blank when it came to counting. For example: -, -, 3, 4, -, -, -, 8, -, 10. Loulie identified a circle, square, rectangle, triangle, diamond, and an oval. She then drew each one. Loulie counted pictures with 1 - 15 objects. She circled the correct number of objects, given three choices. She counted objects, such as "hearts," and answered the question, "How many hearts?" She circled a specific amount of objects. For example, "Circle 10 ice cream cones." Loulie then focused on ordinal numbers, counting from first through fifth. I assisted her with "sixth." She followed directions such as, "Circle the third bird," and "Underline the fifth bird." Using plastic teddy bears as manipulatives, Loulie was able to identify the group that was greater/bigger/more and the group that was less/smaller/fewer. We talked about the meaning of addition (putting groups together). I drew a group of 3 circles and a group of 2 circles. She filled in and then read the equation "3 + 2 = 5. Loulie completed several similar problems. We followed the same procedure with subtraction. We talked about what it means to subtract. I then drew 6 circles. I told her to "take away" one circle. She crossed off one circle. She then completed the equation "6 - 1 = 5. She then read the equation... "six minus (or take away) one equals five.

For the first part our session, we worked on descriptive adjectives using images of characters from Disney movies. I presented the words for describing physical characteristics (rubio, moreno, alto, etc.) and Loulie identified the characters based on their description. We also did an alphabet "scavenger hunt," and used the toys and items around the room to see how many objects we could find that started with each letter. We also used letter beads to spell Loulie's name and she made a necklace. For the rest of the session, Loulie was interested in the toys in the classroom (kitchen, animals, etc.) and she played while continuing to speak with me in Spanish about the toys.

We learned through play with beads and pipecleaners, building blocks, coloring and singing. We discussed relating numbers up through 10. We spoke Spanish as well. Loulie is happy when counting by tens to 100. We learned to go up to 200 the same way!

We got to know one another while practicing Yoga with play and music. Loulie likes to create the class so we proceed organically with the postures movement and music.

We did a warm up and sang three songs: Roar, I’m still standing and Try everything. We played outside on the playground while singing again and mixed our yoga balancing and a listening meditation in between. We performed with a small audience and then had the other children who were the audience act as the chorus.

We did a beginning seated meditation, laying down breath work and then lots of creative play with yoga poses mixed in between.

Loulie and I started with Guitar strumming and singing a song she brought. We also used the keyboard to improvise and sing with. She also danced along with the keyboard.

Today Loulie and I played several language arts games to practice language arts skills. We began with a rhyming words game to review word endings. Then we moved on to a word chase game in which she had to identify sight words in order to move along the board. She finished up our session with letter writing practice and a rousing game of Boggle.

Loulie and I continued to practice addition and subtraction today. We also played math games on the iPad - CoolMathGames.com and Starfall = practicing addition - and learned about money. - She created a booklet to illustrate different coins and their value - "Show Me The Money." We also completed a Color by Code picture of a Love Bunny.
