Penny and I played an initial consonant alphabet scavenger hunt game. She picked a letter from a stack of letter cards. Once the card was selected she named it, gave its sound, then had to find either something that started with that letter or find the letter in the school library.
She also had an opportunity to listen to some of the upper school students give presentations on various topics.

The Reading Eggs program lesson builds on the previous one to build skills in the five key areas needed to become a good reader: phonemic awareness and phonics, sight words, vocabulary, fluency and comprehension.

Penny did a review challenge of number recognition and building blocks with the same number tiles. Penny then worked with shapes recognizing sides and corners and counting them.

Penny enjoyed a letter sound hunt! Letters were written in squares. Penny and I walked around the school looking for objects and people whose names started with the letters in the squares. Each time Penny found an object or person whose name started with the sound of one of the letters in the squares, she wrote the capital and lower case form of the letter.

Penny reviewed adding numbers and reading a math sentence. Penny practiced subtraction by completing subtraction sentences and creating subtraction sentences.

We used the short bands for squats and press-ups. We practiced the block routine.

Phonemic Awareness – Penny and I played a letter name and letter sound Tic Tac Toe game using picture cards.

Penny completed many exercises and practice games in geometry.

Penny and I played a numbers guessing game.

She did an excellent job using strategy in the game. In the process she showed her understanding of the concept of the order of the numbers with which we played.

Penny consistently wrote her numbers with the columns reversed. So, when she wrote 100 she actually put 001 on the paper.

After our numbers work, she was allowed to paint the snake that she had made earlier in the day.

Penny and I focused on counting. She remembered our counting game from our last session together. So, after putting her bags in her room, we went outside and did a variety of counting exercises. Thomas joined us for part of the session.
