During this final class with Colson at Batt, I decided to dedicate this lesson toward connecting Civics with Sports
because this is one of Colson's top passions. He appreciated watching the 1980 Gold Medal Olympics Miracle on Ie video. It has been a great pleasure having Colson for 2 classes this year and best wishes to him for much personal and academic success in the future.

Due to his final school day at Batt tomorrow, I needed to take time to review the results of his Financial Lit. quiz and to insure that he has a
clear understanding how to determine Return on investment.
Review of Final Exam: The questions on the final exam were reviewed by the student. The remaining time during this period was utilized to assist the student in preparing for the Financial Literacy Quiz this afternoon.

Lesson Comments
Colson performed quite well on the Civics Final Exam (89%) We utilized the remaining time during this class period to assist him in reviewing for the Financial Literacy Quiz later this afternoon.
We concluded our review for the final exam today. We studied a chart that detailed how a bill becomes a law, and I directed Aiden's attention to the page in the book that outlines actions a committee can undertake with respect to a bill: debate, amend, vote, or ignore. I further reviewed the use of the pocket veto. ( Our lesson was abbreviated today due to parent -teacher conference. )
