design fundamentals. Stephen is currently working on his "Op" art designs. He is also working on a painting to show the use of "art nouveau."

Stephen and I read and discussed a Hardy Boys book.

Stephen completed his third restaurant review of Grande's. He used his completed survey to put all of his points together in the review. He discussed the restaurant's appearance, service, quality, and cost. Stephen focused on the spelling of key words. Stephen used descriptive words in his review to keep the reader entertained. Stephen typed his review on Trip Advisor and posted it.

Stephen finished illustrating his math read aloud book.

Stephen went to Grande's Restaurant and completed his survey of the experience. He focused on the appearance, cleanliness, service, and food quality. He will use his survey to write his review on Friday.

Today Stephen and I worked on determining the main idea of a passage. We played a game that required Stephen to read several short passages and chose the correct main idea. We discussed how often the main idea of a passage is the first or last sentence of a paragraph. Great work today, Stephen.

Stephen took the standardized test today.

Stephen did enrichment pages about "Rhythm and Tempo" today. This was about musical terms and their definitions. The "heartbeat" of music. It is important to know these terms in order to play the piece in the correct tempo. He also practiced his Fur Elise, Radetsky March, and Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring.

Stephen and I worked on his throwing and catching today. While he was throwing, I wanted him to focus on keeping a strong lead arm throughout his delivery. While he was catching, I wanted him to focus on using his hands to catch the ball rather than his body.
