Libby was seen in her room for a 45-minute treatment session with the focus of therapy on fine motor skills specifically grasp patterns, ocular motor skills (saccades), self care skills, and handwriting. Libby participated well and was focused throughout her treatment session. Continued to work on increasing dexterity, manipulation and hand strength with putty and hidden object activity. Libby enjoyed using the intrinsic muscles of her hands to find the hidden objects in the moderately resistive putty. We continued therapy with visual recall and recognition of both uppercase and lowercase alphabet letters today. Libby was able to recognize and name every letter of the uppercase alphabet except for the letters V, P and J. Last week she needed minimum verbal cues for the letter "B" D" this week she knew them. Last week she couldn't recognize H, v and O this week she knew H and O. Both weeks she could not recognize uppercase "V". She is making solid improvement with recall for her letters. We will start with handwriting program next week 10/03/2024 using Print Island to teach Libby the correct formation of the lowercase letters. She needs to work on her recall and recognition of the lowercase alphabet as well. Good session, progress is steady.

Libby used the rice tray to trace letters. She played bingo to find letters. On writing paper, she wrote the attic letters (b, d, f, h, k, l, t). We sang Old McDonald with vowels. I read Rooster's Off to See the World by Eric Carle. We discussed title, author, and illustrator.

Libby wrote letters using the magic change color markers. She used rubber stamps of lowercase letters and matched them to uppercase letters. We sang Old McDonald for the vowels. We sang the Jolly Phonics song. On writing paper, she practiced her basement lowercase letters (g, j, p, q, y). I read Little Cloud by Eric Carle, and we discussed author and illustrator.

This morning, Libby worked on the Topic 2 assessment comparing numbers 0 to 5. She compared groups of objects and determined if one group was greater than, less than, equal to, or not equal to the other group using matching. She also drew quick pictures to compare given numbers. Libby was unable to complete all of the questions and will continue tomorrow.

Using pages 36-41 in the workbook and textbook pgs. 42-43, show Libby a state and country map to show her where we live in Florida and the United States.

Libby completed her interactive calendar. She wrote her ABC's, her numbers 1-30, and counting by 2's. She read about apples, and wrote 3 interesting facts she discovered about apples. She made an apple joke book. She learned about chipmunks and what they need to survive.

School closed due to Hurricane Helene

Recall what a good citizen does and what rights and responsibilities are. Read The Little Red Hen in the workbook and talk about how sharing is good, but if you don't help others, they may choose not to share with you. Role play ways to ask to share something and how to say yes or no politely. Do both positive and negative ways and talk about how they make us feel.
