We had a fire drill for the first half of the session. With the remaining time, we collaboratively read about two national symbols, the American flag and the Statue of Liberty. Tristan then played a computer game as we sang and listened to music.

Tristan participated in the last day of school activities.

Tristan participated in a school-wide activity, snow cones and a chess tournament.

We played with the chicks for the duration of our session.

Tristan participated in a school-wide activity, Scavenger Hunt and Cookie Cake!

I attempted to reassess Tristan to establish a measure of progress between beginning and mid-year assessments.

We watched a video on how to care for baby chicks.

Tristan spent much of his class time petting and observing his chick.
We also played a game titled, “ Weird But True” a National Geographic game. We also played ”Exploding Kittens”.

Tristan and I read a NatGeoKids book about manatees. He was curious about where he could see them, so we visited the Manatee Lagoon website. He read one page of ‘The Blue Mittens,’ a level I selection, with 70% accuracy.

Tristan observed the chicks, recognizing that three hatched overnight and now we have a total of four chicks! We then discussed why chicks need help staying warm because they do not have enough feathers to help regulate body temperature. Lastly, we listened to a story, "Chicks" discussing the process of chicks being born.
