We continue to work on writing and fine motor skills. The student is able to make all his numbers to 6, and is using the headline, midline and baseline to correctly form his letters. I had him create a couple of work samples to check and see if he has remembered his letter and number formation. We worked on the letter p and the letter b, both recognition and making the letter sound. At the end of our session we played a simple counting game, which he was very enthusiastic about.
