Before and After

Maths: I can say what number comes after another number

Here is Hayze helping with the calendar at circle time. He was able to say that 23 comes after 22 and before 24 when filling in the date box, without any guidance from an adult or visual support- AMAZING! Target achieved! The next step is for Hayze to recall doubles.

Spelling words

Writing: I can identify middle sounds in words for spelling

In this activity, Hayze is working on identifying the middle sound in CVC words, like 'bag' and 'map'. He is able to do this during group phonics sessions when we play the word machine game on the interactive whiteboard. This was his attempt to try to do it independently and he was indeed able to hear, say and write the middle "a" sound in 'bag', all by himself. Very good work Hayze! The next step is for you to identify middle sounds in your independent writing activities :) 

Helping Hands!

Thanks Hayze, for helping me to load the dishwasher today. I like the way you turned the bowls and cups around so that fit nicely and weren't all piled on top of each other. I hope you're just as helpful at home ;) You are a superstar!

How do you feel today?

IEP: Hayze will express his emotions and describe why he feels that way

Hayze is telling his friend Connor that he feels happy today. When I asked him why, he said "it's going to the gym!" It was lovely to see Hayze beginning to link his feelings with actions and experiences; the next step is for him to use words effectively to describe his negative emotions.

Keeping it quiet

IEP: I can use my inside voice in class

\

Hayze, you understand that when the arrow sits on the red side of the "noise-o-meter", that you need to use a quieter speaking voice. It was lovely to see you use the noise-o-meter independently today- this shows that you understand when you are using your inside voice. 

Skip counting

Maths: I can skip count in 2s, 5s and 10s

Hayze practiced skip counting in 2s by filling in the missing numbers (even, every other number) on a 100-square. He made it all the way to 100! Fab work Hayze! The next step is for you to count in 2s, without using a visual support.

Listen up!

Speaking: I can follow instructions with 3 key words

At the art table, Hayze and Cody worked on painting apples for our letter "a" display. I gave Hayze the instruction: "paint the big apple green". When I returned a while later, here he was painting the large apple green. Well done Hayze, great listening! The next step is for Hayze to follow instructions that form part of his daily routine, to help him operate more independently in class.
