Today, I again worked with the little girl Erica to help her with her values. I couldn't seem to find a method to help her understand it. I honestly think it's because her math shills aren't that great but I'm pretty positive she'll get there. They then learned how to multiply a different way and learned how to do TREE DIAGRAMS. Of course, some students understood it after one example and some just takes a little bit more time and effort for it to process. But soon after, they all seem to really like tree diagrams. Afterwards, it was time to go to specials and this week I went to music class. Some students have an obvious short attention span, some students talked while the teacher spoke, some students couldn't sit on their buns quietly, and I don't know how the teacher deals with it. But afterwards, they learn that they were doing a 6 week project and some students were very excited and some were like "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" So possibly, they may enjoy it or they may not.
