Penny enjoyed following directions to make a 'name snowgirl'. She wrote each letter of her name on a white circle. Penny cut and glued a hat for the snowgirl and drew her a face on a white circle. Penny carefully glued and placed each circle below the last, making a long name snowgirl. She was quite pleased with the finished product.

Penny did well on a cut and paste activity in which she sorted pictures of animals into groups based on body covering. She worked carefully to trace dotted, squiggly lines. Penny enjoyed following 2-step, silly directions.

Penny did very well sorting pictures of animals based on how they move. She worked carefully to stay within a written path while figuring out which way to go in a printed maze.

Penny traced diamonds, squares and circles. She then matched the shapes to pictures that had that shape. Penny enjoyed a color-by-number activity that included numbers 1-4. After listening to a story, Penny confidently put the pictures in sequential order of the story.

Penny enjoyed a color-by-number activity with numbers 1-5. She traced the letters Y and Z and then cut and pasted a picture whose name began with the sound of Y and Z.

Today we worked on fine motor skills while listening and following directions. First, I traced her hands and she cut them out. Next, she was given a brown triangle, black, white, and red circles. I then gave verbal directions and she followed them. The outcome was a reindeer.

Penny and I began our session focusing on the letters u, v, q, x. Penny traced the letters. She loved picking out what colors to use to trace her letters. We then completed a cut and paste activity, matching the picture with the correct beginning sound. Penny asked a question, wondering what two colors make when you combine them. Therefore, we completed an experiment with water and food coloring, combining two colors at a time. Penny traced the letters, y and z (uppercase and lowercase).
