Hey, Good Morning, Sorry I had to miss clinic- I got page to cover a therapy session from 2: 45 p.m.- 7:00 p.m. with another child. I have been reading over the notes- Wow ! What a week so far, Kat is doing great ! Got a big smile an unprompted "Hi !" this morning. Kat was dellgently copying her science notes from the board when she stopped to greet me.
Awesome running during the snowball- snow patrol game. She is very "on the ball" with this game now, genuinely beginning to enjoy herself- running, looking around for snowballs to throw. She did great as part of the ski patrol. Lots of smiles and laughter and only one pose during P.E.- Excellent !
In science we watched a video on "Levers" and went over the homework dittos, Kat did very well, nice attention.
Social Studies- struggled a bit- needed prompts to transition from reading along- following in the textbook to looking back up at Mrs. D and listening as lectured- nice attention just had trouble keeping up, Mrs. D would read a few sections then stop and talk about it. Kat needed her with the "switch." She is leaning about the Declaration of Independence and the events surrounding its creation.
Mrs.R.- Kat is really on the ball today. Very independent with seatwork, Started on her own today- looked to me for "reassurance" So I asked her what she was going to do and she told me as she open to her first assignment "Great."
In language Ms. L. went over adjectives that describe " How many" Kat did very well needed some prompting to choose the appropriate number adjective but did great with the concept of more and most. She had to read some sentences aloud to hear the right answer which is fine. She is really doing wonderful today almost no silliness at all. A little bit of posing but she would quickly say "No posing, that's silly." She got an A+ on her spelling pre-test- Excellent ! Only missed a couple "Reach out" words. After spelling, Since Kat had completed all of her seatwork- I asked her if she would like to go to the gym, She said "Yes" very happily ! I had her run a few laps around the gym, to get her to run faster I had her chase me. She ran after me laughing- We had a great time together !
We were both breathless so we took turns shooting basketball hoops. Kat really had fun. She laughed alot ! After lunch- Recess Mrs. K prompted some conversation between Kat and her classmates- asked Kat her favorite song- Kat sang a little of the "Spice Girls" is a "No Doubt" song for Mrs. K (when she asked her to sing) Then prompted Kat to ask T. and L. and E. their favorite songs- After we asked Kat to tell us T.'s favorite song, L.'s, etc... She remembered L.'s because it was "My Heart Goes On" from Titantic. Mrs. K said we will do this with Kat now- everyday after lunch- to encourage interaction between Kat and the kids- Great! A fun activity- we learning about Totem Poles. Kat is a little "dreamy"- Prompts for attention Mrs. K asked her some questions about the totem pole to get her attention a little better now, She is coloring her own totem pole. Tomorrow the class will begin to create their own "Life-Size" totem pole to tell the story of the class ! Kat is completeing a worksheet on greater than- less than. She missed quite a few- Mrs. B. had her correct the problems she missed. (Verbal Stims) crepped up during math- took a dime. She is still struggling a little with greater than or less than or equal to with fractions- but Mrs. B. sees alot of improvements since the start of the lesson. She did great with her fraction word problems, though. Overall, a really great day. Kat was very independent an alert all morning, a little "dreamy" in the afternoon but no real silliness- great work Kat ! Oh a lot of nice teacher greatings with her teachers- Eye contact still needs some prompting, But reponses are sounding alot more natural and friendly! Have a great night ! L.
