We worked on 2 hand coordination and counting in 4. We played along to some songs and tried to stay in time with the recorded rhythm. We worked on playing rhythms between the right and left hands.

Libby was interested in learning about venomous snake species and sea turtles, so we watched some educational videos and discussed some basic facts about each.

Libby completed her interactive calendar, read and discussed her vocabulary words, finished her calendar talk activity, read her barometer, worked on her phonics activity/short a, and looked at the inside of a real chicken egg.

To begin, Libby reviewed the 3-D shape names and hung the 3-D shapes flower activity that was completed last week on her wall for reference. Then, she worked on an addition and subtraction within 5 fluency activity and completed a 'Review What You Know' on teen numbers. Libby finished with making teen numbers on ten frames and completing number sentences.

Libby assisted me in watering the plants outside this morning as they were very dry following the three day spring break. She had a bit of difficulty separating from mom this morning but after a few hugs, Libby adjusted to her daily schedule. She then drew a picture using her new colored pencils. It was a Christmas story and Libby was prompted to organize her thoughts and sequence the events she drew. She is looking forward to having her cousins, Finn and Isla, visit the school later.

I worked with Libby to create the second layer of color in her design.

At Libby's request, we went outside for today's session. We sequenced the alphabet while bouncing a ball. I conducted visual, auditory, and blending drills. I am very pleased with Libby's improvement with the blending (decoding) drill. We reviewed regular spelling (CVC with all short vowels) and irregular spelling words (UFLI scope and sequence list, in order). Libby read a decodable book by FlyLeaf Publishing. To conclude, I read the remainder of "Mercy Watson, Princess in Disguise."

I began with visual, auditory, and blending drills. Libby read CVC words with all short vowels. For spelling, I dictated similar words for Libby to write and we reviewed her list of irregular words. Libby read a decodable book from FlyLeaf Publishing. To conclude, I read several chapters from the book "Mercy Watson, Princess in Disguise" by Kate DiCamillo.

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. Continued therapy instructing Libby on the correct letter formation, line place and size of the lower case letters "e and z". She was able to write both these letters well when provided with auditory and visual cues for start point and line placement. Reviewed previously learned lower case letters. Libby required verbal cues to form the lowercase letters "a, b and y". Lastly, Libby painted two Easter ornaments to continue to work on refined hand use. She is a pleasure as usual to work with and continues to make steady gains in all areas addressed.
