Outside play:
Miles played in the snow for a while. He picked it up and threw it down on the ground to watch it break. He also chased another boy around for a while. He got into an argument with another child. He listened to the child and told the child his side of the story. Eventually they came to a compromise they could both agree on. After he got bored, I asked him and a few other children to do the hopscotch. As he did this, he was able to count the jumps he took but he could not count along with the numbers on the blacktop. Then I challenged the children to see how long they could balance on each foot. Miles had over 10 seconds on each foot.

Inside: Snack
Miles was able to open the hand sanitizer, use it, and put it back without teacher help or encouragement. During prayer, Miles followed along to the Our Father in Signed English. After snack he was able to pick up his garbage and throw it away without teacher encouragement. During snack a teacher read a book aloud. During the book, Miles was able to make inferences and state his observations, as well as ask questions relating to the story.

Inside: Project
The project was to make a cross out of popsicle sticks and glue, and then they could decorate the cross with markers, crayons, and provided sequins. Miles first put one popsicle stick down, and another going across to make a cross. Then he put one on the bottom sticking out to the left. When another child pointed out that was not a cross, he took it off. Then he put a huge glob of glue on his cross, picked up the sequins one by one, and stuck them on there.
