Jonathan was excited to put the final touches on "Among Us" in real life. While writing out the tasks and directions, Jonathan identified all the words with /s/ sounds and we practiced them with 60% accuracy at the word level. Jonathan has the tongue placement down - it's the airflow that is tricky. Air is still escaping out the sides a bit so we practiced visualizing a skinny stream of air going forward. We drew it out so he could visualize it.
Jonathan was frustrated by the way recess went after lunch so we discussed creating a new game for the friends to play at lunch. Together we designed an "Among Us" real life game with different tasks. While taking notes on the rules, we identified target /S/ sounds. Jonathan was feeling more confident with airflow today since losing a tooth.
Jonathan was eager to get outside for some fresh air which has been our routine for speech therapy. With masks off, he can watch the therapist's mouth for correct placement of the tongue for /s/. Placement is pretty strong, it's the air flow that gets tricky. Losing teeth also challenges Jonathan especially when he finds his groove and then has to practice it again. We made a comparison to a day at the beach flying a kite, surfing or sailing...we just have to adjust the sails. The slightest adjustment helps achieve the target we want. Jonathan is a star student and very conscientious and detail-oriented about his learning.
Religion and Rough Draft of Realistic Fiction Story and Communities
Lesson Outline
Jonathan came late due to a Dentist appointment. We used the time to write his rough draft of his realistic fiction story. Jonathan used his brainstorming notes to build his story. Jonathan proofed his writing and I revised it for capital letters and punctuation. Jonathan wrote his spelling words two times and created sentences for three of the words. Jonathan completed his religion assignment assigned by his teacher. Lastly, Jonathan watched a YouTube video on regions of the USA to review the five regions taught this week.
Jonathan made different types of smoothies and we discussed how to make them healthier and how to describe them to people. Jonathan also learned about food allergies.
