The apps that you have shared have been such a blessing and a help for my son! They have been part of our Homeschool every day for the past year or so, and I only wish that we wouldâve found them sooner. Lucas and Friends are so very special to him and have motivated him in ways that anything else was simply unable to do. The extra effort to demonstrate HOW to solve a problem, the sweet characters, and even the clapping and cheering on of the user is so appreciated. My son is a sensory seeker (ASD), so he loves the repeating, (so helpful for his learning style) the noises, the visuals, and the rewards; Even the twirling of the propeller on Lucasâ hat and him saying âwhooty-whooâ is appreciated. Because of those details, he plays these during his own free time and looks forward to using them at the beginning of each school day. I also appreciated your message to the kids in sharing their unique gifts with others in life-the very best advice. Weâre now using this app, Math Games- Learn +-x and I just canât believe such an advanced / helpful app is available for free. I LOVE the report card feature and that I can print that for our records. That feature is so valuable to me!
Maybe it already exists and I just havenât found it, but I would love to see something from you with concept of money. Itâs one thing to recognize coins and bills, but even further to gain understanding of the need and use of money- how and why itâs earned, that you need money to obtain physical items and that you need to know how much you have and how much you can spend. After all of that comes the next step of how to identify, count, and use it. Thatâs a big gap in anything we have used to help him understand the concept money so far. A good example⌠in the Roblox App, there is a game called Sodor Online using Thomas the Train characters. That app motivated him so much to take a job, earn money, and buy exclusive engines. It helped some in acknowledging the existence of money and the need for work to actually acquire it. Something like that added to the concept of recognizing the coins and bills, with the concept of adding, subtracting, and then buying and spending could do a world of good for the kiddos who need extra help in understanding and reasoning.
Again, thanks so VERY much for all that youâve already done. God Bless and virtual hugs from a thankful mom whom you have blessed with your special talents. â¤ď¸
