I began with visual, auditory, and blending exercises. Libby read and spelled CVC with -ck and -sh final sounds. She read all of her irregular words. I dictated a sentence for her to write and edit (The bug is red and black.) She read a decodable book, "Butterfly, Butterfly." We picked out a new Kate DiCamillo book to read, "Eugenia Lincoln and the Unexpected Package". Libby identified the title, author, illustrator, and main character of the book. I read the first few pages while Libby colored the pictures.

Today we will set up an obstacle course around the playground and, between rounds, practice our Martial Arts basics.

The obstacle course will include Hoops, rolls, jumps, dodging, and evasion. The cones will be made exciting by a steeplechase.

Kicks include Front kick, and side kick.

Libby completed her interactive calendar, read and discussed her vocabulary words, finished her calendar talk and calendar writing, and worked on putting together her scrapbook/journal.

Continue to practice writing upper and lower case letters based on the sounds I give. Include consonant digraphs. Decode words with and without the digraphs. Practice the sight words we have been learning. Read a decodable book.

Libby led the direction of our play. She was very excited to play with the dollhouse, creating stories, characters and even games. We also enjoyed the puppet box and props.

Libby practiced Spanish with Duckie chicken nugget.

Libby completed her interactive calendar, read and discussed her vocabulary words, finished her calendar talk and calendar writing activity, put together her daily sentence puzzle, worked on her phonics activity, and listened to and discussed the two videos, "Tortoise Is Hot," and "The Sun Warms the Earth."

Today, Libby and I began with the book 'How to Speak Politely and Why' that she brought in from home. While reading, Libby was randomly asked to read the page numbers for number recognition. Then, we worked on the 1st grade readiness assessment. Libby answered questions on matching pictures to equations, matching amounts to ten frames, and comparing numbers.
