Lesson Review

Manu played his two-three train transfer (with some pauses) at the beginning of the lesson! We didn't earn all 10 stars because he didn't want to do very many of the lesson items. We played with low and high sounds on the keyboard to create the sounds of the train. Manu liked watching the new video found below.

Lesson Review

Dustin made a scheduling error arrived at 1:30 instead of 1:00pm. Instead of stickers and a mystery box, Dustin brought flash cards of A, B, C, D, E, F, G, 2 and 3 trains. Manu had trouble focusing today and wanted to spend time on the sofa-chair or with his blanket. He played his video assignment first and then opened the envelope of train flashcards. We played the game as described below and ended with playing the content of his train video again.
