Ethan and I watched videos of players pitching and hitting. While we were watching the pitchers i wanted him to focus on watching how they get to a balance point and do not rush through it. We slowed down the video so he could watch in slow motion. While we were watching videos of hitters I wanted him to focus on watching how they separate their hands from their body while keeping their weight on their back leg.

Lesson Comments
We had a good time today since he actually proved that he retained the vocabulary from last week. Towards the end he was getting ready to go with his dad to his job and suddenly missing 5/6 minutes for the end of our session we lost connection, I kept on trying to call him but it did not work out.
We discussed the following: definition of Economics,low risk/low reward vs. high risk/high reward investments, and the Rule of 72 (compound interest). Ethan also provided specific examples regarding why people make investments. Then, a hypothetical example of the Rule of 72 was provided for clarity about how compound interest on a savings account works.

Lesson Comments
We could not logon to the stock market game because Ethan forgot his login information. I wanted him to take notes on the Rule of 72 along with the specific example of how it works, as well as, reasons why people make investments. Ethan was not very engaged and was not writing things down and providing a lot of feedback today. He expressed that he doesn't like living in NYC for various reasons. He misses his house and yard here. Emotionally, it wasn't a good day for him.
Raz Kids reading, contraction memoir, silent reading, and vocabulary development

Today, since it was Friday, we played vocabulary games where we used vocabulary such as colors, numbers 1-20, and days of the week. It was a great review of past lessons. Also, we played a match and memory game on body parts. We did it twice so Ethan could beat his own score time. We watched a short
Spanish video on The Dinosaur in NY and the NY Museum of Natural History.
Ethan learns today that Industrial Arts includes both Manufacturing of a product in a factory and Construction of things built outdoors such as highways, bridges, dams, skyscrapers, and homes. He makes a drawing of the picture frame he made for one of his art creations. Lastly, he views videos of how a baseball bat, ball, and glove are manufactured. Wonderful effort on his part.
