I opened a Photoshop file for Dutch. He was instructed to paint in his second avatar for his infographic. I worked with him to create individual layers to make it easy for him to isolate the colors. Lastly, we worked together to import a camouflage pattern into the fishing rod portion of his image. Dutch saved his work and closed out his file.

Dutch worked on a practice standardized test.

Dutch completed the Reading Vocabulary and Reading Comprehension portion of the Standford Achievement Practice Test. We went over how to bubble in the answers and the importance of making sure the number of the question he was answering and the number of the answer he was shading in were the same.

Dutch read an article that compared and contrasted the hammerhead shark and the great white shark. He was encouraged to highlight similarities and differences as he read. He did well creating a Venn Diagram comparing and contrasting the two sharks. Dutch confidently answered questions about the text. He used the internet to verify some of the information in the article he questioned.

Dutch and I began our session with a discussion about fishing. I showed him pictures of fish that I and some friends caught. He identified all of the fish correctly, of course. He even tried identifying the boat correctly. We then watched a 'Generation Genius' video, "Predicting Natural Disasters". Dutch then questioned if anyone has ever gone through a water spout directly and what would occur if someone did. We discovered that a fisherman in the Florida Keys went directly through a waterspout. We watched the video of it. We observed that the men were not scared at all and in fact, were brave and excited. We then completed a 'Read Works' reading, "Preparing for a Disaster". We ended our session with watching tornado hunters.

Dutch continued to read about Jamestown and the Maryland colony. Dutch identified obstacles each colony had during settlement. Dutch chose a colony that he would have wanted to settle on if he was a colonist. Dutch created a poster to advertise the colony and how they are overcoming the obstacles.
