At the onset of today’s session, Nicholas expressed that he was very tired; however, he responded to prompts and sat at the table as we reviewed today's homework assignment. The assignment was to work on I-Ready; however as a password is required to access the site, this tutor instead reviewed Friday's assignment which was to use doubles to assist in addition problems. Nicholas completed 8 problems, but prompts were required as he seemed unfamiliar with the concept of doubles. To facilitate his comprehension, we watched a video and Nicholas was responsive to the music and watched it three times. It seems that the video sufficiently engaged his attention and sustained it for a period of at least 15 minutes. We also watched a video in which words to a song were highlighted on a screen and Nicholas enjoyed watching that twice as well, and repeated the words as his eyes tracked the words. Nicholas was tasked with one last math problem in which he was to solve an addition word problem. Nicholas approached this using lines to represent the numbers; he remains reliant on hands on one-to one correspondence strategies to help him solve simple addition problems. Use of a number line is encouraged as it has demonstrated to be beneficial in assisting his computational skills. Nicholas's mother will have him complete his I-Ready math assignment at home and will provide this tutor with his log in information and password the next time he comes to our program. It should be noted that Nicholas will not be there this Wednesday, 11/14, as he was invited to a mid-week birthday party and wishes to attend. Ms. Judie Batt Yarnell is to attend a conference with Nicholas's mother and Nicholas's teacher tomorrow, 11/13/18, at his school, Jerry Thomas Elementary.
