Yesterday Nicolae and Crisitian worked on becoming more fluent and flexible with their numbers, both in English and Romanian. I noticed a huge improvement after the lesson...especially with Cristian. Knowing the numbers fast and fluent was not easy for him. However, once he figure out what the numbers were, he was very good at writing them.
Nicolae already knew his numbers, however, he had a bit of trouble when it came to writing them down. Writing the number 2 was the most difficult for him. You could hear him groan every time he rolled a 2. In the video you can even see his attempt to avoid having to write the number 2.
Later on last night we played the board game "Trouble". It is the game that has the dice in the middle of the board. You click on the bubble to roll the dice. There was an amazing difference in the boys' confidence level. Cristian actually knew some numbers immediately. Before he always had to count each individual dot. Sometimes he would say the numbers in Romanian and some times he said them in English. It was so wonderful to watch learning in action.
