Create and run through an obstacle course to warm up and stretch for the day.

We found a golf ball and created a story about the golf Ball.

Libby completed her interactive calendar. She read and discussed her vocabulary words. She finished her calendar talk activity. She made a windsock and learned how to tell the direction of the wind. She did an activity to make rain. She read and discussed her Scholastic News Magazine and was able to recognize the different types of clouds.

Libby completed the sculpting phase of her clay dolls, focusing on adding details to their faces and hair before placing them in the kiln. While waiting for them to bake, she spent the last ten minutes playing with small clay teddy bear sculptures, engaging in imaginative storytelling. Libby has a strong enthusiasm for character creation, and future classes could incorporate advanced painting techniques to bring her sculptures to life.

Libby said she had a great weekend and had a fun playdate with some friends. We continued progress on our clay dolls. The armatures for both the adult and the child are complete and now Libby is designing clothes for them out of clay.

Today was a fun session before spring break. To begin, I read the rest of the book "Mercy Watson Fights Crime" by Kate DiCamillo. Libby brought a stuffed animal pig from home to participate! We went to the staff kitchen so that Libby could sequence magnetic letters on the refrigerator. She identified the vowels and built CVC words using all vowels. She independently built the following irregular words: and, the. Libby's confidence is growing with decoding and encoding. Returning to her office, we reviewed the rest of her irregular word deck and learned a new word: is.

Review the sight words for the week. Go over the sounds of letters in a random order. Read decodable reader for short vowel words. Practice building words from pictures by sound starting with the initial sound/s, middle sound, and ending sound/s.

Practice counting to 20 on the chart. Start at numbers before 20 and count up to it. Complete a dot-to-dot for practice.

Today, I introduced Libby and Teddy to the game of badminton.
We talked about how to hit the shuttle cock.
We also talked about keeping score.
We then worked on hitting the shuttle cock over the net.

Libby and I practiced child's pose, butterfly, Warrior 1 and 2, starfish, and ragdoll.

Libby completed her interactive calendar, read her new vocabulary words, finished her calendar talk activity, put together her daily sentence puzzle, reviewed the water cycle, and worked on an experiment to make a puddle in order to learn about how clouds and rain are made.
