Although Ben engaged in the lesson, he spent 10+ minutes in the bathroom. He has been very positive lately and has been a pleasure to work with.

PJ was engaged in both lessons.

I spoke to PJ regarding the importance of being able to read what is written. When asked if he would like to practice handwriting or keyboarding, he chose keyboarding. At his age, it if often more appropriate to improve keyboarding skills rather that handwriting skills that were not corrected previously. He tried two programs and chose typing.com. By the end of the session, PJ was typing without looking at the keys. I plan to integrate keyboarding in short practice sessions several times per week.

PJ has excellent recall. As discussed with Megan, a switch to reading enrichment might be more appropriate next semester.

Ben was in a positive space and asked if he could work on his character development for D and D. He used speech to text, so I could hear his development of character traits. He asked me to choose his typing program, so I set up his account. I went over his morpheme lesson which we will approach at his next lesson.

Ben complained of being tired and refused to annotate. I gave him time in class to read. He finished in half the time it took me. I'll check his comprehension tomorrow.

When asked about using Audible, Ben told me he hated audio books. I gave him time to research the typing program he will use. He did not finish, so the research became homework.

PJ was eager to share his story, so we postponed the Character Challenge to the next session. I spoke to Megan regarding PJ's reading ability. He reads quickly with success and retains the information he receives. I will reevaluate after MAP scores are posted.

Ben paused out of the program several times but would not tell me when asked. When he left to use the restroom (2 times), I checked his computer. I reset the testing session and told him it would only prolong his testing which had to be finished by Wednesday. Ben was eligible for accommodations but declined my offer.
