Inside: Circle Time

Kavin has improved immensely during circle time. He is able to sit for the entire time and actually does not get distracted away from the story. Kavin was great about raising his hand when he has a question. The book I read for opening circle was about flying cows and Kavin had a cute story to share about how he would ride on a flying cow if he saw one.

Inside: Free choice time

Kavin loves to play on the computer. The rule is that however many minutes you are on the computer, you must spend the same amount of time at the writing center. Kavin used to complain nonstop about going to the writing center. Now, he goes without complaint. Today was a day when he even stayed longer than he had to. Kavin enjoyed playing with K'nex today. He loves playing with toys such as that and configuring them in many different ways. He also created patterns on the overhead using colored chips. Kavin has a two color pattern down.

Outside: playground

Kavin is definitely not lacking with his gross motor skills. He is a very active child. I usually do not get much of a chance to see him on the playground so it was nice to watch him move and interact today. He was running around with a couple other boys kicking a ball around, and playing monkey in the middle. At times, he would pick it up and throw it. There was no lack of rough-housing. There were actually 2 times when I had to pull him and a few other boys off of each other. One time he was the one on the bottom crying, and the other time Joey was. Kavin was also very mobile, climbing up and down and all around the playground equipment. He went down the slide, but when that became boring, he decided to go down the slide head first.
