Liam was absent today.

Liam had a wonderful session today. He wanted to learn how to draw Lincoln Loud. We found a video on how to draw this character, and I have to say I was so very impressed with Liam's talent for following precise instructions, and his finished product was amazing. We worked on writing a story to go with his character.

Liam was not here yesterday for the Valentine's Day party, so we celebrated today by graphing a bag full of candy hearts. He determined he had 134 hearts in his bag, and that there were more pink hearts than any other color. He completed two reading comprehension stories about the little girl who wanted a kitten. This story is a continuation of a story he read on Monday. He was able to remember story details from the previous story, and predict what was going to happen next. He completed several activities pertaining to command sentences.
