After practicing writing the letter "Q", the girls did a worksheet about rhyming. I read the words for them, and then they had to circle the two that rhymed. They did a great job, but towards the end I could tell Zoe's brain was getting tired, so I modified the page for her by giving her a choice between two words. For example, instead of reading all three words (wish, win, fish) and asking which two rhyme, I would say, "What rhymes with wish? Win or fish?" One of the advantages of working one on one with a student is to be able to immediately modify the work or provide accomodations that allow the student to be successful and have the experience of completing the work and achieving that sense of accomplishment.
Next we did some math. Today we focused on the properties of basic shapes. We identified the numbers of sides and angles in each shape and also spent a lot of time discussing the difference between squares and rectangles. After that we did a worksheet in which the girls got to draw different shapes.
While I made snack (goldfish, strawberries and bagel bites with peanut butter), I sent the girls outside to practice drawing their shapes with sidewalk chalk.
