I worked with Ben to construct a display case for his Grimm Reaper sculpture.

Ben continues to work on cursive writing. He practiced combining simple sentences into compound sentences. Ben enjoyed creating a business. He chose the service he would provide, determined why people would want the service, came up with a business name and logo. In addition, Ben made a list of employees he would need and rules for his employees. Ben wrote a paragraph about what he would do with the money he made from his business. Ben was both thoughtful and excited while thinking about and creating his business.

Today we began to learn how to create a model in the 3D program Tinkercad. Ben was quick to pick up the controls and began building a race car.

Ben continues to learn cursive writing. Focus today was on j and p. Previously learned letters were reviewed and practiced. Ben practiced combining like sentences using the word 'and' to link nouns. He completed his expository writing piece on how to teach a dog to it sit. The CUPS strategy of editing was utilized.

Today we worked on the drum kit and on the piano. Ben was quick to find the correct chords and said he really enjoyed how the full chords sounded. He has a great sense of rhythm and an ear for music.

Ben continues to practice cursive writing. We reviewed and Ben practiced all letters learned so far. Ben worked on identifying adjectives and adverbs and the nouns and verbs they described. Ben is excited about the new family dog. He drew four pictures illustrating the steps to teaching the dog to sit. He began to write the process using the pictures as a resource.

We worked on learning how to login to office 365 and then open the Batt School email and send a message. After that we played chess on the computer for a few minutes.

Ben continues to learn and practice cursive writing. Focus was on s and j today. Ben was tasked with identifying the adverb in a sentence and stating if the adverb told how, when or where. He did well choosing the correct adverb to complete given sentences. We talked about direction and time order words. Together we wrote the specific directions to get from where we were to where Hank was using time order and direction words. He enjoyed another activity practicing use of time order and specific language that involved having each other replicate a cube design by telling the other where to put the cubes without allowing the person to see the design.

I worked with Ben to build his display case for his clay sculpture.

Ben and I worked together to paint the interior of his display case.
