Cabo and I went over each class and made sure each class that he had an assignment in was entered in his 'My Homework' program. He had language arts reading, history research and a science test scheduled for Monday. We talked about when each was due and made a plan of the order he would work on his assignments. He began with research. After 20 minutes, he switched to reading. He declined help to study for his science test. We spent the last few minutes organizing and putting away loose papers and books on his desk so he could start with a clean work space tomorrow.

Cabo entered his homework onto 'My Homework' on his computer. He has a science test on Friday. I talked to Cabo about using the week, rather than just Thursday to study for the test. He chose to start his homework by reading 'A Call of the Wild'. Cabo finished one of two chapters he needed to read 40 minutes into the hour. I talked to Cabo about prioritizing and choosing what homework he wanted to complete in school and what he would do at home. We talked about the benefit of having a plan. Cabo decided that he wanted to continue reading and if he finished reading, he would work on his math. At 2:30, I asked Cabo if he had the questions on his computer that he needed to answer for history. He said he did. Cabo continued to read even after 2:30. He read until he was picked up.

Cabo and I went through his classes to see what homework he had. He was asked to write his assignments down in his agenda. He read pages 3-22 in the novel for language arts and then completed two pages of multiple choice questions. Additionally, Cabo completed math problems. When Cabo was done with his homework, we worked together to clean off his desk and put his books and supplies away so his workspace would be clean for tomorrow.

Cabo worked on science homework

Math
*Multiplication – doubles facts and how they relate to multiplication.
L.A.
* We reviewed the words he misspelled last week from the 300 most commonly misspelled words.
* Maverick worked on the short vowel sounds in nonsense and real words (great way to see if he really knows the sounds).
*Syllables- “closed” syllable pattern –CVC/ C… I gave him many nonsense and real words to divide and read. He needed to plug in a short vowel sound in the first syllable each time, giving practice while working towards mastery of this reading pattern.
* Test-taking strategies were introduced and practiced. He was given a practice assessment from the “FSA Practice Test Book” in which he had to apply the strategies on the list.

We went over each class and wrote down any homework Cabo had. He read chapter 6 in 'I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings' and then answered two questions in the packet. Cabo was asked to put all language arts papers in his language arts folder. His book cabinet was organized and did not seem to have any loose papers.

Cabo completed 3.3 and 3.4 Biology questions. He worked hard the entire class.

Cabo returned from a doctor's appointment 40 minutes into the class period. We went through his schedule, class by class, and wrote down any homework assignments. We then got a folder to keep loose math papers in. Cabo did not have any other loose papers. He is using the folders for each class to keep each subject's papers together.

Cabo would benefit from writing his assignments down as he gets them rather than having to remember at the end of the day. Together, we went through each class and wrote the assignment or no homework down. Cabo read the passage he was assigned for language arts. He was then asked to summarize the passage and discuss the ethics of the passage. We went through Cabo's book cabinet and took out all of the loose papers. We then organized them by subject. Each subject now has a folder for loose papers.

Cabo said he had no homework to do besides science. He got caught up on his ecology photojournal, and then started his weekend science homework in the textbook.
