While Courtney does have workbooks, flash cards and all that good stuff her favorite it working on the chalkboard. So she will practice everything from weekly spelling words to recipes to math skills on the chalkboard. The chalkboard is different and interesting to her and honestly it's just plain fun to write on with all the brightly colored chalk.

WHAT TIME IS IT?: I will draw a clock for Courtney and she or I will fill in the numbers 1-12. I will ask her to draw the hour and second hand to specify the time I have given her. Sometimes she will tell me the time she is going to draw and other times I draw the time and she has to answer what time I have shown on the clock.

MATH: Courtney answers one digit addition and subtraction problems without the aid of a calculator on the chalkboard.
CHORES: Courtney has regular chores and will write them on the chalkboard and cross them off as she finishes each task.
And in 7 months of having the chalkboard, Courtney will write little notes to us (unprompted). Sometimes she will write she loves her sister Alex or her family or maybe she will cross out what I wrote for dinner and replace it with McDonalds!
These are just a few of Courtney's favorite activities to do on the chalkboard.
Skills Used: Memory, Writing, Spelling, Occupational, Cognition, Life Skills, Math, Speech, Language, Social Interaction, Responsibility
