I really didn't think anyone would come as it was raining so hard. It was a pleasure to see T come along as he is such an enthusiastic explorer. It was only him which didn't dampen his spirits much. I ad-libbed a few activities for him and went on to the tower activity.
There are a number of differences that I need to work on between groups and 1 to 1. Conversations can't just be prompted as a clear check of understanding as it is less authentic. He is aware that he isn't teaching me anything whereas sharing answers in a group would be different. I can use concept questions but without an audience, they need to be well tuned to get an answer that is worth the child taking time to think about.
I will prepare some inquiry prompts for T for tomorrow's session.
Otherwise, a mix of today's session and possibly some number properties or developing the bridging through tens game/challenge.
