He has an affinity for the game. Where many students will take several sessions to learn the names of certain pieces or the differences in the way that they move and attack, he has been able to retain and implement the information presented with ease.
My lesson today was to finish mapping out Max’s educational plan while at the Batt School and brainstorm creative ways to still accomplish every task that his teacher may require of him.
Max left early today.

Lesson Comments
Max left early today - before my session.
I used the time to communicate with Nicole regarding his education plan and to plan other lessons.
Max and I developed a plan for the scholastic achievements we hope he will accomplish while at the Batt School.
We opened up the assignments sections of each of his classes from his home school.
We sent messages to the teachers where appropriate. While the teachers may currently be on break, we believe our messages will a) help to document the issues that we were having, b) communicate our desire to do the work to the teachers c) allow them the possibility of replying if they happen to check their messages during the break.
We will use this information to help Max complete all the assignments from his homeschool and to transition smoothly to completing classes here when his homeschool commences again.
Today, Hank learned about Chess. He did not seem particularly excited about writing. I want him to have a series of at least 5 instances where Hank comes to the school and loves every second of being there.
We covered the topics of: Board Setup, Piece Identification, Movements of the Pieces, Main Game Objectives.
After the quick ground rules, we started a game. We were unable to finish due to time constraints. But, Hank seemed to enjoy the game.
Next lesson we will cover more advanced moves such as castling and the like.
