Period Covered: September 1 - September 5, 2008
By: Teacher Cristy
Griffin has been learning to write his name within the blue lines of a pad paper. While it still is a slow process for him, he doesn't show signs of getting frustrated and instead just constantly seeks affirmation that he is doing alright.
He continues to do very well during activity and work time. When we made paper airplanes, he worked with blue paper, was quick to draw a pilot and passengers on his plane and put the wings after. Although sometimes playful at the start, he settles down to work once his attention is called. During work time, when we read a book with words "it, the, is"' he easily sight read the words after one page of guided reading. He used picture cues well to read words like "fire truck, fast, barn, wagon, strawberry..." He reads more and more words on his own already.
Once during snack time, some of the girls got into an "argument". Nadine called Nikka and Adrienne babies. Adrienne cried while Nikka told Nadine that she will not say hi to her anymore. Griffin was seated beside Nikka that time, and after listening to the "exchange" of words, acted as mediator and told them "it's OK, you don't have to cry, my mommy also calls me a baby sometimes." : )
