Student 1- Spelling words. By the 3rd attempt, only missed 1/12. Misspelled fruit.
Read simple passage with 3 questions. She answered well and progressively better.
Student 2 - 5Ws with playing tag. Simple math homework recognizing tens and ones.
Student 3- Mental math with fewer fingers, was more precise today.
Student 4- Much better today. Remembered last two lessons in order to complete hw from a day ago at a bit quicker more independent, confident, and willing pace.
It seems that if I leave her alone and I am occupied, she settles into full work mode.
Also wrote 12, 8, and 9 times table. I taught her a trick for 9.

I had to keep emphasizing that this is going to be a process for us, rather than just a series of lessons that he is expected to memorize, so there is no need to feel bad about spelling a word incorrectly. We tried some visual reminders of sight words, which seems to have some promise. We also tried some chants, which brought out the student's goofy side a little. :) We ended with a little exploration of long and short a's, and now he understands why we call them long and short.
