Hello, Oh I am so very sorry about Jenny, Sorry I didn't know. (So sad)
Homeroom- A good morning so far, Kat greeted me nicely this morning but I had to prompt for eye contact.
Art - Kat finished her "Chinese opera mask," She was very creative! She chose the gold crown for the head and put a pretty blue feather in the crown! Kat worked fairly first, prompts for attention at times and I had to consequate her for verbal stim up (While coloring) but overall, she did really nice work. She really seems to enjoy art! She does need prompts and encouragement to "follow through" at times and to see possbilities for projects.
Mrs. R.'s-(still needs initial prompts to get started on seat work)
Kat did very well on her seat work! She already got three feathers today! She did especially well on a story ditto (choosing the right word to fill in the sentence). I went over the first story with her and let her do the rest of the stories all on her own, she did well with choosing from the multiple choice words to complete the sentences but she had trouble putting the events of the story in sequential order. She struggled a bit with her math seat work, she still seems a little unsure of herself with fractions. Kat did excellent with contractions, and attended very nicely to Mrs. R. during her reading group. In reading, we talked about categories- Kat did great! Mrs. R. had to tell Kat to stop singing three times during reading so I took dimes. (After reading the class practiced singing "Hero" with microphones) to get ready for the video they will be making for the little boy (Alex) who has cancer and is recovering from a bone marrow transplant.
Kat rushed through her fraction seat work assignment and missed alot. I went back over fractions with her and had her do the assignment over again. This time taking her time and focusing on what she is doing- just like the other kids, She wants to speed through fractions (like she does with multiplication) and gets frustrated when she gets them wrong. She can get fractions-if she slows down and looks at what she is doing. She seemed a little angry with me when I made her "re-do" her assignment- but it really did help and she was happy when she got the answers right!
Oh, I wanted to mention how wonderful the girls are at Kat's table in art! All the girls, not just D., are very supportive of Kat- They always make a point to talk to her (not just to prompt) and they always compliment her work and encourage her!
Kat always volunteers to hold the door for recess now-as soon as Mrs. B. asks for door holders. Kat raises her hand! Great Kat! During recess D. and I tried to prompt Kat into conversation. We talked about our plans for the weekend, Etc.- It was not too sucessful without more prompting. Kat did asked me to push her on the swing and to help her "fix the hair" ( She asked very sweetly!)
She rushed through an assignment and made alot of mistakes with three digit subtraction (with borrowing)- once we went over her mistakes she did see what she did wrong and was eager to fix her mistakes! Now on to fractions. Prompts for attention, not as silly today, "singing has subsided- she is working nicely with some prompts to stay on task, her understanding of fractions is getting much better already! She just volunteered a correct answer and now she is really "catching on"- doing great with her class work problems! (On the board)
Mrs. B. is really impressed-Kat is getting so quick with her fraction problems.(not rushing but understanding!) She is so great at math! We went over science vocabulary today in Mrs. D's class (Haven't been doing Social Studies alot when I 'm here with Kat lately) Then watched a movie.
Yes, It is Chapter 11 Social Studies and Chapter 12 for Science.
I would say about the same concentration on both Science and Social Studies.
Note: A little bit of Pica today- all day Kat has been fidgety, scratching and picking your at her dry skin. (face,back of neck and her back)- I caught her puting it in her mouth.
Hey, having wonderful weekend! ( There is no homework) And again, I' m very sorry about Jenny, take care,(see you at clinic on Monday!) L.
