We reviewed for the quiz, and I am happy to report that Sam made an 80. The quiz was not open notes and I told her to feel very good about the accomplishment.
Sam learned about the bond market, how bonds are priced and how they are affected by changes in interest rates. She learned about municipal, corporate and US Treasury bonds. We also reviewed for her quiz which she will take on Wednesday.
Sam and I worked on the cumulative review exercises in her vocabulary book. Sam does quite well answering the vocabulary questions with support. She enjoys learning the new words. She also has successfully completed her summative assessment. She is ready to graduate.
Today, Sam didn't turn in her final project "autobiography" in Spanish. In class I helped Sam to complete her final project. She wrote her autobiography in English(wrote 10 sentences approximately). Then I explained to Sam how important it was to turn in this final writing project. The main idea was for her to take at least 2 hours for this project (from the long weekend – Friday, Saturday and Sunday). After talking about it step by step in Spanish class. My goal was to have a positive experience that helps and encourages Sam to learn well and improve her final grade and apply, review, and integrate everything that Sam learned in class and achieve the following educational goals:
• Develop her initiative and understand how to work independently...
• Acquire efficient habits of time management, problem-solving, and self-discipline...
• Master good research skills to find, organize, and condense information...
• Gain a good sense of personal responsibility for learning...
• Learn to use academic available resources...
Sam and I completed her autobiography in the classroom.
Sam completed her summative assessment on the novel. I assisted with the last three chapters. Sam did quite well. Sam and I also worked through her vocabulary book.She makes study flash cards for each new set of words because that helps her learn them. We need to complete lesson 6 and then Sam needs to complete the 4-6 cumulative review in the vocabulary book as part of her final assessment.
