Q's ST Week #5

I know it's been a long time between week 4 and now but with the ST being sick then us being sick it wasn't worth the risk.

I did take him in today and he did have a cough and as always before we left his nose was runny but I knew we needed to go in so we did. Half way there Q told me he had a cough (in his cute little voice) and that we should go home. HA!! I knew where that was going!! So we went!

We got in to see her and you could tell he had some time off. We didn't last more than a half hour but that's ok.

We got into the room and I took Q's hat and he sat down on the mat and visited with the ST. They started right away with playing a game. Normally it's hi, book, game, then another game but this week it was a little changed up.

Q and the ST did a game of spinning a spinner on a piece of paper. Each quarter had a different colour (brown, pink, green and purple). They took turns "spinning" the "spinner" then using the "scoop" to take "out" the "ice cream" and put it on the "cup" or on "top" of the other ice cream. Then they took turns taking the "ice cream" "off" the "cups".

Once that game was finished they read a book. It was about a "mouse" called Howard (I think) and he was trying to find a "home". Each page was about Howard finding a "home" but then finding out that the "home belonged to someone else. For example the first page Howard found a basket but inside was a cat. Eventually Howard found his "home" of a shoe.

After the book was finished they played a game based on the book. This kiddo remembers EVERYTHING! She pulled out a 'cage' from another day we had done and told Q it was a "home" for the mouse. He said it wasn't! It was for the Zoo animals! He can totally remember things! Q checked out a bed, bus, boat and the cage to see what was a good home for the mouse. Eventually he found that the bus was a great home!

They played another game with the sight words for Q. It was perfect timing! He did a few sight words (like a photo of something he would say in normal day to day life and he had to say what the photo was. We did this a few weeks ago). He did great. They did about 5 of them (computer, backpack, medicine, hamburger, watermelon, and I think one more). He would flip over the card, say the word a few time then get some "tape" and "stick" it to the wall. Then once all were on the wall he had to take them "off" the wall and give them back to the ST.

It worked out well. But at the end of the last game he wanted out! We got a few more pages for homework as well as some information on stuttering. I'm going to read up on it and see how it goes.

We have ST again on Thursday to make up for the weeks we have missed.
