Avery worked with another student. She acted out a princess scene.

Avery practiced the correct scissor grip and how to cut paper. She benefits from someone holding both sides of the paper when she is cutting. She was very pleased with her new skill. Continued practice would be beneficial. We worked on the shapes circle, square and triangle. Avery enjoyed a cut and paste, sorting activity. Given pictures of everyday objects that were squares and circles, Avery was asked to draw a circle around the circle shaped pictures and a square around the square shaped objects. Avery practiced tracing and writing Ee. She was able to write an E independently and so now can write the first three letters of her name. Avery also practiced counting and one-to-one correspondence. Given a picture of a playground, Avery correctly counted the different objects shown. We took a brief break, during which time Avery and I hit a balloon back and forth to each other. Avery was engaged and cooperative.

Avery first planned a drawing she wished to create. She chose herself as the subject. She was then asked to close her eyes and think about the colors she planned to use. She was encouraged to first draw using pencil and to then decide on the colors and follow through using them. Avery was praised for demonstrating an ability to plan ahead as she chose which color would be used for different parts of the painting. After drawing herself, she added a pink bow to her hair using watercolor paint. She also created a scene drawing flowers and a sun, and subsequently painted them in vibrant colors. Finally, Avery was assisted in writing her name and painting over the trace lines, with physical assistance. She enjoyed this activity and asked to take it home once dry. We finished up the day playing a game outdoors. She threw a ball expertly to another student in a game of catch, shot some hoops playing basketball, and followed instructions in a game which required her to jump into different colored hula hoops upon command of a person designated as 'it.' She was 'it' on two occasions and demonstrated a good ability to follow the rules of the game, independent of prompts. She behaved appropriately throughout our time together and seemed to enjoy the activities chosen for day.

Avery worked on a craft project. She used the sensory bin to find and sort letters. She participated in an acting exercise with another student. She worked on writing numbers from one to twenty. She painted a pumpkin and she participated in a music activity.
