Cody is learning to independently request an activity, where all words in the sentence are clearly understood

Cody wants to watch a segment of Toy Story on the ipad, so he came up to me and said "Toy story".  I then model a complete sentence for Cody to repeat.  Cody will say the key words then please and or thank you.  We will continue to model complete sentences for Cody.  

Cody is learning patterns within 5

Cody has been learning that 5+0=5, 0+5=5, 5-0=5, 5-5=0.  This week Cody has been learning that 4+1=5, 1+4=5, 5-4=1, 5-1=4.  Next week Cody will be learning that 3+2=5, 2+3=5, 5-3=2, 5-2=3.  I am hoping that by breaking down these family of facts and presenting each combination in separate weeks will help Cody remember.  Each week we go over what we have done the previous week.  Cody will continue to do activities that help reinforce this learning. 

Cody is learning to use a picture to generate an idea to write about

Cody sat down with me during a reading session and was keen to draw a car like the one in the story.  He then proceeded to write a sentence using the text in the story for the word car.  Great work Cody!

Cody will continue to have one one time writing and continue to have opportunities to write independently.

Cody is learning to look at the illustration to understand the words in the story

Cody is reading an unfamiliar story and with a reminder he is looking at the pictures to help him work out what the story is about.  He needs to remember to point to each of the words as he says them.  We will work on this goal with Cody and give him lots of practice throughout each school week.  A book will be sent home with Cody four times a week so that he can also practice at home too.
