Calculating

 Today I made her do the calculation of two digit numbers which sum upto 100.

I gave her 9 sums which she did mostly independently. She took 1 1/2hrs to complete the task. Still I am happy that she could do it independently. This week I will continue the same way till she becomes very confident in two digit adsition.

Typing & Calculation

Typing

Today I gave her 3 letter words same like yesterday. Today she was much more familiar to use the Caps lock and enter key. Planning to give her the same tomorrow as well so that she will be thorough with that. But I had to sit near her and give the prompt. Slowly have to make her independent in her works. She completed the work in 30minutes

Calculating

For calculation also same like yesterday I gave two digit calculation. She could do it well by reading out the numbers and pressing on calculator. Tomorrow also planning to give her the same way till she will be thorough and become independent. She requires my verbal prompt for each and every step.

Threading inside the holes

Materials: cardboard, thread any type, toothpick or needle

Make holes on the cardboard piece on both ends length wise as you can see in the picture.

I tied the thread on the tooth pick and gave her to insert. First I gave without toothpick, as i used was woolen thread, it was soft and she found it difficult to insert through the holes. Then when i tied toothpick and gave she could do it better. I told her to insert the thread up and down and finish threading in all holes. She did it with 25 to 30 minutes.

Calculation

Coming to todays work, I made her two digit calculation which sums up to inside hundred. First I gave three sums and she did those in 15min. I have to sit near her and give verbal prompts for her to finish the work. For the first set of sums she did the calculation just by reading out one digit and pressing it. Then I gave her 6 sums and told her to read it aloud first and then do the calculation. But for each i had to give her verbal prompt to complete. She dis the reading out and calculation in around 45minutes. For reading out she needs More practice to speed up. Hope she can achieve it soon.

Typing

Today i made her do the three letter words with upper case and lower case. For this also I had to give her verbal prompt for each and every step foe her to complete. She needs more practice to make though with “enter” key and “caps lock” key.
She did 10 3 letter words in 35 minutes.

Opening & Closing the lid

Don’t judge a book by its cover.

Just like you can’t form an opinion of a book just by looking at its cover, you can’t form an opinion about someone (or something) from their outward appearance.

Today I made her do the opening and closing the lid of the bottle. She did the opening and closing few times. Closing she finds easier than opening. This task will improve the fine motor skills.

Calculation and Story continuation

“Always put your best foot forward.”

Try as hard as you can or give your best.

Today I gave her addition with decimal place to get an idea for adding bill amounts. I had to sit near her for her to complete the task. As you can see below, i gave her two digit number with decimal place. She could do it but my verbal prompt was needed. She completed the task in 1 1/2 hour. Then i gave her 3  simple two digit number addition as a test and time management. I gave the sum and made her sit alone to do the sum. She completed the sums in 3minutes and 4 minutes. Planning to give her daily simple two digit numbers so that she can speed up her addition time

Story Writing

 Story writing was continuation from yesterdays story, same like yesterday I wrote and gave her 1 line in capital letter. I sat beside her till she completed the task and gave her verbal prompt to type each word. She took 1 1/2 hour to complete. For typing the time should be managed little more. She can do it well if I dictate and give the spelling. There was a slight mood swing in her today, I think that might be the reason she took long time to complete.

Placing the pista shells on the line

Materials required: Pista Shells and A4 or a note book
Draw a line, zig zag or straight. 

I told jasmin to place the shells on the line which I drew and gave her. I didn’t apply gum as it will make her more attentive while keeping the pista shells. This will improve concentration. She completed the task within 20minutes.

Finger Impression

Finger Impression materials required

Chart paper cut in pot shape⚱️
Color as per your desire🔴🟢🟡🟠
Chart paper or A4 sheet

Method

First i cut the chart paper in pot shape and applied glue and gave her to stick in the desired place. Sticking part may be because of the first trial she found it difficult she could place it correctly into the traced place. After that i drew line and spotted with pencil where she had to put the finger print.and mentioned the colors of each branch. Took and gave her the colour in a bowl, i used fabric color but water colour would be fine for this. She did the thumb impressions with her point finger. I helped her doing the first brach with red, then wit my verbal prompt she completed the task. As you can see in the picture the down part i made her colur with green colour pencil, first i gave her sketch but she was  not able to as she was pressing it have then i gave her colour pencil still she found it little difficult to colour. She could complete it only with my minimal assistance. Will give her more practice on colouring in coming days

Story Typing

“AN IDLE MIND IS DEVIL’S WORKSHOP”

Today Jasmins typing task was to complete 2 sentences from a story. Yesterday We started with the story “The cap seller”. Yesterday i gave her to type directly from the story book. She is more familiar with capital letters rather than small letters. When I gave her to type directly from the book she was very slow and took more time. So as per mam’s advice we will start small letter typing with 3 letter words, then to colors and fruits. Then will try giving direct from the story book, so that she will be familiar with lower case alphabets.

Coming to today’s task, she completed 2 lines in 1 hour  and  45 minutes. Today I wrote sentences in her notebook in upper case letters and gave her. She did it happily without my assistance. I just sat beside her till she completed the task. Now will continue with the same story tomorrow.

Two digit Addition with Calculator

Two Digit Calculation

Addition with calculator, Jasmin started her calculation works just in February 2020 from school. She is familiar only with numbers 1-100. She know to write well till 100 but now and then some numbers she put in mirror way.

Luckily addition by using calculator she finds it easy and interesting. We started with one digit number, achieved that and moved to two digit.

Today as a part of online school work, Jennie Mam gave two sums for her to calculate, i wrote that and gave her to do. She did it pretty well i was sitting beside her and giving verbal prompt so that she will complete in minimal time. She has habit of sitting idle with the work given if she didn’t get a verbal prompt in between. She completed the task with half n hour. She was very happy achieving the task.
