The teacher introduced a book, and the student identified five words that start with the letter “C.” The student practiced the five words by arranging the letters in the correct order and saying each word aloud.

We joined Miss Barbara and Teddy for:
- "Word Hop Scotch" (Student pulls a word card reads it and hops through)
-Yoga- Mountain Pose, Triangle Pose, Warrior Pose....

1. Use "Crash Course for Kids" video on gravity to enhance interest in the subject.
2.Experiment: Compare which items fall faster/slower than each other. ie: sheet of paper, paper crumbled into a ball, paper airplane, pencil, box of pencils ...
3. Discuss properties of items that make them fall more quickly/slowly (weight, shape, size)
4. Chart results (See chart on wall in students' room)

Libby and I began with a review of the coin names and their values. Then, we sorted nickels, dimes, and quarters that she brought from home. Once sorted, we practiced skip counting by 5s, 10s, or 25s to find the total amounts of each coin. Then, we began the next lesson on using bar models to help solve subtraction word problems, which we will continue next week.

We discussed the notion of gravity on Earth. We discussed what would happen if gravity wasn't present. Libby drew a representation of Earth with gravity.

Student created a healthy organic take of the classic items.

Libby completed her interactive calendar. She read a story called "Friends" and answered reading comprehension questions pertaining to the story. She read her high frequency words and is getting more fluid with these words. She learned about diagrams and labeling.

I began with a phonological awareness exercise (Kilpatrick, E1#3, p. 136). I conducted visual and blending drills, focusing on words with initial and final digraphs (__-th, ch-__, sh-__ words). For regular spelling, I dictated words starting with the letter (kid, kit, Kim). I introduced the rule that k is used when followed by e, i, and y, but didn't focus on the concept, as Libby didn't seem to grasp it. I dictated a sentence for her to write and edit (Did Kim hit the kid?). Libby read and wrote the following irregular words: the, is, his, as, has, you. To conclude, Libby read a passage from Wilson Student Reader 1, "The Hat."
