Today in math we went back to Topic 15, which she had previously started. This unit deals with time and using the calendar. We completed pages 49 – 51. These problems focused on various concepts such as how long activities take, elapsed time, days of the week, occurrence of the day of the week within a given month, and finding particular days targeted in the month on a calendar. We will continue to work through this Topic to give Gracyn the practice she needs in these areas. We watched a Brain Pop Jr. learning video on “Time to the Quarter and Half Hour”. In this video, the characters Annie and Moby attended an event that had scheduled times for activities throughout the day. These activities took place on the quarter hour and half hour. They displayed clocks and written times to reflect various points throughout the day on the quarter and half hours. Gracyn completed her first +2 addition math drill in her math workbook (pg. 13). She scored a 25/25 in 3 mins., 33 seconds. She has not memorized these facts and used her fingers. We talked about how she could just count up by twos to get the answer. We spent the last minutes of our time by reading part of the classic fairytale, “Thumbelina” by Hans Christian Andersen.
