  • Colors & Categories

    May 16, 2015 While I had other things planned Lily decided to sit down to do something different.   Fair enough it was color categorizing.  She placed colored objects in their appropriate colored tubes and also hesped clean up the toys after.  We used a timer today to time this activity and Lily responded in…

  • Sitting at a desk

    Lily read her phonemes and word cards again at her desk today for at least 30 minutes.  Afterwards she wanted the Kaufman workbook as her book reward and we sat for another 20 minutes before moving over to the foam kids sofa nearby.

  • Dying Easter eggs.

    May 14, 2015 Lily requested to dye Easter eggs today.  Not being a day to do that mainly because I could t find the dye, we settled on coloring Easter eggs instead.  We added the element of the alphabet to it by coloring certain eggs with certain letters on it.

  • Action

  • ILS

    May 15, 2015 We used ILS today during the Kaufman cards (action) reading.  Lily did great.  She sat and wore it the entire time (the waist bag too). She only took it on & off a few times at first then settled and sat still during card readings.

  • This morning with Maggie

    Maggie & I had time this morning to work on some skills before Lily got up out of bed. Maggie also woke up early.
