Friday January 9, 2015

This morning was a Joy School day at our house. We worked on our goal charts and stories and songs about goals. After Joy School my girls were obsessed with working on goals. Noel's was to whistle. She makes one whistle noise and colors in a part of her chart. She's on her second one.

Amy is to drink 5 cups of water a day so she can only get so far in a day of working on it. I did ask Amy to trace and write some numbers as she tends to write them backwards. She traced each number 10 times and wrote it 10 times. At least. I was only going to ask her to do 1s and 2s, but she kept going and thought it was fun. Awesome.

Eliza decided for her goal to learn to write her name. I was blown away at her diligent effort. Filling in the sections of her goal chart is very motivating for her. She can write each letter. Then I asked her to write her whole name together. She showed a little perfectionism, changing pages over and over in her little book. I didn't see that coming. The z is hard for her. Once she writes her whole name all together, she'll be done with her goal.

The girls also kept wanting to play puppet shows. They were cute and fun.

One thing I was proud of Amy for this morning was how she encouraged and worked with others. She helped Quincy and Eliza work on an activity without intervening and telling them what to do. I was so impressed. Later she was ok with Noel going first at leading a puppet show. Amy did her part just as Noel said without trying to be in charge. This is a huge improvement for her. Yay for a good day!
