This morning Bobby and I practiced the problems on pages 338-339 which focus on proportions and converting scale measurements. Bobby came to class prepared and did a good job in solving the proportions using the two step technique we drilled in class. Homework is to complete #'s 1-9 on pages 345-346.

The lesson today involved vocabulary building, paragraph editing, and using graphic organizers. This lesson will be presented at the next session.

Bobby was going to review his vocabulary list, take a quiz, continue work on his 5-paragraph essay, and read a short story by Roald Dahl.

Bobby was absent for class today.

This morning we were scheduled to work on Bobby's outlining skills in preparation for this keynote presentation.

This afternoon Bobby and I reviewed his homework from the previous evening. The topic has been focused on the life and accomplishments of Alexander the Great. After completing our review, I asked Bobby to write a short essay summarizing some aspects of AtG's life. After some encouragement Bobby succeeded in completing a one paragraph essay which was the second essay of this type today.

This afternoon Bobby and I began our work on the keynote presentation featuring Arachnid physiology and the tarantula. Bobby prepared an introduction on paper by identifying five interesting and relevant points regarding arachnids. These will be inserted into a slide and comprise the bulk of his introduction. This is the second writing piece of this type today. The hope is that he will become more comfortable and find it easier to accomplish this task in the future.

Some of the problems on a recent quiz study sheet are discussed. Bobby also uses a math website to review math concepts. Good session.

Bobby continued from this morning, making edits to his car comparison paragraph. We discussed why changes were made - for better flow, grammar, and structure. He did a great job!
