Birds of a Feather Tutoring Session

Service Description

Birds of a feather flock together and you are invited to join us as we build and decorate birdhouses at Our Sensory Farm. Birdwatching is so much fun and it’s easy to do when flying guests come right to your yard! Each learner will receive a kit that includes everything they need to craft a home for a feathered friend. The kits are made of solid, smooth wood boards and are safe for little hands. Learners will follow written and/or verbal directions to assemble the birdhouses without nails or screws. Once assembled, we will take time to personalize and decorate each tiny home in hopes of attracting a special guest. Learners will take their creations home to enjoy all year long. We get to enjoy a short book read aloud during Story Time as we gather for lunch. Learners will have a chance to participate in a casual discussion in which we will share ideas, answer questions, and make connections related to the story. Learners will also be given an opportunity at the end of our session to reflect, record, note, doodle, remember, and share as we create entries in Farmventure Journals. This tutoring session is appropriate for We Play Learners ages 5 and up with all abilities. Activities, instruction, and level of support will be differentiated to meet the needs of individual learners. During this tutoring session, learners will have opportunities for practice and progress in the following areas: Planning - analyzing the steps to complete the task Organization - keeping belongings neat and accessible Task Initiation - making use of time effectively Attention - maintaining focus on important tasks Metacognition - self-reflection Working Memory - following multi-step directions Self-Control - making safe choices and avoiding harm to ourselves or others Flexibility - adapting when plans change Perseverance - decision making Please don't forget to pack lunch for your learner(s) along with a refillable water bottle!
