Sofia worked on stem changing verbs. We focused today on the verb poder. She was shown 8 example sentences. She was shown examples of sentences with poder and a second verb.

Sofia helped to write sentences and she copied down two Spanish “survival phrases".

During the first segment of the session, Sofia took a quiz on Act I of the play. We then read through most of Act II stopping to discuss the critical role of language in the thought process and in the communication process. We further analyzed the relationship between James and Capt. Keller and Kate and Capt .Keller. We noted how Capt. Keller's bark is much worse than his bite as he constantly claims he wants to fire Annie Sullivan but his actions demonstrate he lacks the courage to confront her. We further examined the ongoing lock and key motif as representing not just Helen's circumstance, but also Annie's .

Sofia worked on setting short-term and long-term goals. Sofia also worked on her vision board.

During our 30 minute session today, Sofia took a chapter exam on the structure of Congress.

Sofia continued working on her business plan of Sofia's Sundae Shop. Sofia gathered supplies and set up the organization of the event.
