This morning, Libby and I took turns creating addition story problems with numbers up to 10. We focused on using the correct terms to represent two groups being joined together to find the total. Then, Libby used her number line or fingers to help solve the problems. Next, Libby answered cumulative review questions on comparing groups of objects up to 10 to show that one group has a greater or fewer amount than the other.

Libby seen in her room for a 45 minute occupational therapy treatment session. Focus of therapy on improving her ocular motor skills, visual perceptual abilities, fine motor development, visual motor skills, sensory motor skills and graphomotor skills. Began treatment session with fine motor task aimed to increase the strength in Libby's hands to improve control and distal hand achieving mature grasp patterns. Began treatment with hand strengthening activity and continued with an activity to work on grasp pattern refinement and distal control. Libby was very interested in why she needed to change her grasp and told her OT that another one of her teachers is asking her to hold her writing implements the with an open web space versus a thumb wrap grasp pattern. Worked on lowercase letters in which she forms incorrectly - p, a, d, f and y. She continues to work hard and has made vast improvements throughout the year.
