Betsy Bailey

Bailey embarked upon the following activities at 8:00 am, working steadily until 3 pm. I kept checking to see if she was bored or losing interest and offering breaks, but she was having a blast! She did not enjoy watching a math lecture on DVD, so we may modify our approach to that instruction if her frustration with it continues or escalates.
