Libby was eager to read our Kate DiCamillo book, so I began our session by reading a chapter. It is fun to see her enthusiasm for the book! Next, I conducted visual, auditory, and blending drills. Libby identified most of the letter sounds, wrote the letters for /ch/, /k/, /x/, /I/, /n/. She blends CVC words with short 'a' and short 'o'. I dictated similar words for her to write, as well as a sentence for her to write and edit (I love maps!) I reviewed all irregular words. To conclude, Libby read a decodable reader from Flyleaf Publishing.

I began with visual, auditory, and blending drills. Libby is close to mastery in identifying the sounds of letters and digraphs taught, hesitating only with ch, ck, qu, and th. She blended CVC words with the initial sound /h/. I dictated the words "hum, hush, hut, hug" for Libby to write. She read her irregular word deck: the, too, his, has, love, is, as, you, and do. I dictated a sentence for Libby to write and edit (Mercy the pig is fat.) For oral reading fluency, Libby read the decodable reader, "Can You See 3?" To conclude, I read a chapter from the Kate DiCamillo book, "Stella Endicott and the Anything-Is-Possible Poem," and we practiced reading comprehension strategies such as summarizing and making predications.

I began with visual, auditory, and blending exercises. Libby read CVC words with the final sounds -ad and -ash. I dictated similar words for her to write and a sentence to write and edit, such as "Teddy is mad at the Teddy Bear." I am pleased with her letter formation and pencil grip, although she occasionally needs reminders not to wrap her thumb, as directed by her occupational therapist, Christina. I reviewed the digraph wh. Libby read her irregular word list and an oral reading fluency passage. To conclude, I read a chapter from the Kate DiCamillo book.

Libby completed her interactive calendar, read and discussed her vocabulary words, worked on her phonics activity, put together her daily sentence puzzle, checked on her rain gauge and discovered that we had 3 inches of rain, and did an experiment using a thermometer and the sun.

Today's focus was on counting to 100 and understanding patterns on the hundreds chart. Libby and I counted to 100 by 1s and 10s and looked at row and column patterns on the chart. Then, Libby used the patterns to help her fill in the missing numbers on a number chart.

Do a sight word memory matching game. Practice saying letters for the sounds I say. Practice word families for -in and -an. Read decodable book.

Practice writing the word families for -at and -it words. Include words with digraphs and two consonants at the beginning and practice sounding them out. Review sight words. Read decodable book.

Review the ch, sh, th words. Work on short vowel word families with and without the digraphs. Read a decodable book.

Today, Libby and Teddy started with a jog. Libby did her jog on the perimeter of the field and Teddy did his under the pavilion.
Next, both Libby and Teddy did several sets of push-ups and sit-ups.
For the remainder of the period Libby played basketball and Teddy played badminton.
