We went to the carwash today and washed a blue Oldsmobile Silhouette. Then we ate lunch and did math, Palmtop and writing. After, we played baseball and basketball in the park with Mik's brothers.
Notes:
Writing:
- He needs to practise certain letters and numbers : B, k, p, e, 4, h, n, 6
- And words: Richmond, phone
- I began exercising his name with out the lines and he is doing really well except he tends to go up when he writes.
- When he writes his phone number he tends to begin writing above the centre line.
- Writing his address is really improving but he needs more practise expeciallyin writing within the line
- Spacing between letters is also improving
Math:
- Couting and identification is going well
- Coin identification and matching to get the amount for bus is also improving
Palmtop:
- Focus tends to disappear after being asked a few questions (any suggestions on this?)
- However when he is asked questions, like what did he eat/do yesterday, etc, he does not have any problem finding the answer (suggestions on other questions and excecises we can do with the Palmtop that can be a little more difficult?)
Reading:
- Has a hard time reading some words (or he's being lazy again I'm really not sure)
- Any excercise suggestions?

June 9 notes
Writing:
-Today I tried doing his writing exercise without the "sea" (colors in between lines) to see if he can keep within the line. The results were great as he was capable of keeping within the lines without the "sea."
-In writing his address the d and h need to have a longer extension still as the letters look like a and n respectively. Also his E and B are still somewhat distorted.
- In writing his name I attempted to make him write his name with out an guidance of lines or anything, except for the regular lines of line paper. He was really successful in writing his name almost straight. He just tends to go down a little towards the end.
Activities:
We had lunch, went to Safeway and the bank (where he deposited my money and updated by bank book), did some writing excercises, played golf and bowling. Raffi beat me in bowlign in all three games.

June 2 Notes
Today Raffi and I had lunch at my house. Afterwards he watched some television and played video games with my cousins while I prepared his homework (money math, reading, writing, counting). Finally we went to the Zone to look for his toy car and play bowling. It was a lot of fun!
Math:
I tried a ocoin excercise with him so that he can be able to cound coins for bus money for 1 or 2 people. I wrote the value down and then drew the coins needed to get a value, separating the dollars from the cents. It seems to really work with Raffi as he was able to catch on with the excercise really quick. I will continue to use this excecise and see what kind of development I can have with it.
Language:
We still do the same excercises (2 lines of his name, 7-8 of phone number and address)
Also he reads out aloud and answers comprehension quiestions regarding what he will be doing today.
- His name is really in excellent condition now. I'm going to start working on spacing to make it even more legible. Also his R's and e's need some work too.
- Started with his phone number today. And it is legible except for the word number. Also he can work on his h's
- Address Improving a lot compared to where he started. "12411 Brunswick Place" is excellent now as he doesn't misspell Brunswick or Place anymore. However He really still needs to work on the second half especially "Richmond and V7E6J3" as he still misses the i in Richmond and the line is still really ilegible at times.
Paltop:
We practised this by rehearsing what he will say when he goes to either golf job or car wash.
Other notes and questions:
Here are some pictures of bowling.
