Kat had a good weekend. She went to see K's All State Band Concert. Sat very well through two hours of concert music. We put her on the treadmill this morning.

Good Morning!
Kat was looking at her Social Studies book when I came in. Her classmates were reading reports on countries. A nice unprompted "Hello" before I even got to her- nice and loud too !
Mrs. D told me that Kat did very well on her science test. I can't wait to see it !
Kat started taking notes very nicely she only needed one prompt because she missed the topic header. They went over all of the body systems. Kat was a little lost because the teacher was going really fast. They went over nutrtion ver quickly. Next week they will start on the immune system.
In science they began a new section on machines. Mrs. D explained the defintion of machines (simple and complex) a.k.a. tools. She gave many examples and had the kids give examples as well. Kat is paying attention very nicely while Mrs. D is lecturing. no silly talking silly faces or even chewing on her nails ! Wow !
Kat read the lesson goals. She needed prompting for volume. They read page 240-244. They got interupted by a fire drill. Kat was really quiet and exhibited no posing ! Great !
Reading- They watched a video. The book fair is next week. The video was about books and their authors ( I think they will be available at the book fair.) Kat sat still and watched the video. She has been impressing me all day long. Maybe the treadmill is the answer to get red of the wiggles.
After the reading video, They took notes for science. Kat was a little confused at first because she had to get the definiton from the book before copying from the board. In Mrs. R's we went straight into language. They were discussing the past tense of irregular verbs. I ran to the restroom and when I came back, She had her hands in her jeans. I took five dimes for that. She was not happy after that. She sat quietly and participated when requested.
Kat started looking at her reading workbook. I asked her what she should be doing and she took out her spelling book. She needed prompts to do the crossword puzzle. After I helped her with the across, she did the down by herself. Wow ! Nice and quick too. She went on to language and kept working straight through when I was gone for about two minutes. Kat did her seat work quietly and quickly. She was finished with all of her seat work fifteen minutes before lunch. Wow !
During recess, Kat jumped rope and played on the monkey bars. I had her jump rope with me, So that she would keep going. Kat laughed and giggled. We had fun !
Since Kat was done with her seat work, She sat in the science class with the fifth graders. She read and followed along nicely. Then she went to hereseat and worked on the extra language packet. I looked through Kat's desk and found a speech and math packet. I also found and orange folder with extra work. I'll leave it in her desk. Oops, The math packet is just something she accidently grabbed. She can work on it anyway when she has time. I left it in her orange folder with the other extra work.
Kat was ahead in math, So I had her to do more subtraction with borrowing. They started comparing fractions with a review of greater than and less than of whole numbers beforehand. Kat had lots of problems with this. They have a subtraction ditto for homework. Kat was excellent today ! I have never seen her like this before ! Wow and Wow again ! See you tonight at clinic. A.
