David turned in his homework on time at the start of class! This can be a big step for a new highschooler and I am proud of him.

Another great milestone was achieved today as well. Today was the first day that during our review David displayed enough familiarity with the content that I feel he is ready to take the test. While he still has a little ways to go before complete mastery of the content, he has improved markedly since Monday.

We took a moment to discuss this. We celebrated his progress. I asked him what activities we had done between Monday and today to most help him acquire the information.

I pointed out again that the responsibility to do those types of activities would fall increasingly on him.

We then moved to a Preview of Spanish 1. We spoke about the conjugations that he would learn this year. Our preview included the concept of regular verbs, and we made it as far as regular -ER verbs before we ran out of time.
