Max continued to work on his assignment on Albert Einstein. He completed answering the questions in the class assignment. We also watched a BrainPop video on this great genius and Max answered the questions following the video.
We practiced solving problems with exponents using the order of operations. Then we discovered how to create algebraic equations from word problems. Next we solved problems using lapsed time and money.
We studied 6th grade math skills focusing on the order of operations, adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions. Then we reviewed ratio and percentage.
Today we discussed his schools expectations of the assignment that was given to him. We read pages 46-83 and discussed key facts. Max also highlighted facts in his book.
Max did not attend the lesson. Received word upon entering the school that Max would not be attending school during his Spring Break

Cannot state enough how disappointed I was that Max was not continuing. He was looking forward to the Blues Scale. I was looking forward to teaching him how to read music. From yesterday's assessment, it was apparent that he did not know how to read music.
Max was asked a series of questions regarding his knowledge of music. He was also asked to play anything to assess the level of dexterity and range of note and rhythm values.
After it was assessed that his knowledge was very limited we began from the most basic fundamentals. He picked up the most basic fundamentals very easily. I asked him to play the scale and gave him an example of the difference between major and non-major tonal modes.
At the end of the lesson he was given a preview of his next lesson - The Blues Scale.
Max was an absolute pleasure to teach. His manners and demeanor were lovely.
