Lesson Comments
Jaydn's Chick-fil-A lunch delivery was late, arriving a few minutes after 12:30. She needed some time to eat. We resumed her testing at 12:46 PM - 1:30 PM.
Jaydn read, discussed, and analyzed chapter 21 of The Great Alone. She then wrote comparing Matthew's trauma of losing his mother to Leni's life with her father and how this drives his character development in this chapter. She discussed the rising action of the chapter and its effect on the reader. She finished by reviewing the SAT vocabulary being studied.
Jaydn was absent for first period history class today. She didn't respond to calls or texts via Teams.

Lesson Comments
This is the 3rd successive Thursday Jaydn has not attended history class during first period. I reminded her in person yesterday, that we had first period class today.
I administered the math section of the Pearson Standardized Test to Jaydn. She took the practice test first and then started on the actual test. I collected her answer sheet and materials at 5 minutes before the end of class. She had not finished at that time. There was no assignment.

Lesson Comments
Jaydn worked well during the entire session. She did not appear to have made much progress so the process may take many sessions.
Jaydn needed to finish the Social Science portion of the Pearson Stanford test at the beginning of class. When she completed it at 12:48pm, Jaydn asked if she could work on the Language portion of the exam. Consulted with Dr. Pat and he said it would be OK. Jaydn completed the Language section by 1:26 PM.

At the end of class, I let Jaydn know that we have history class scheduled for 9:00 AM tomorrow. (Jaydn hasn't attended our 9:00 AM Thursday classes for the past two weeks.) Jaydn responded that she wasn't sure she would be available for class tomorrow at
9:00 AM.
Today we focused on the Vietnam War that raged from 1950 to 1975. Following WWII, French colonialism in Indochina was challenged by communist leader Ho Chi Minh. France left the region after the Battle of Dien Bien Phu in 1954.The US supported the division of Vietnam at the 17th parallel and democratic South Vietnam. Both Kennedy and Johnson attempted to defeat communism in the region by sending US troops to fight North Vietnamese communist forces. The Tet Offensive of 1968 intensified anti-war protests. President Nixon implemented strategies such as "Vietnamization" (incursions into Cambodia and Laos) and the massive bombing campaigns. Eventually, the US and North Vietnam entered into the Paris Peace Accords, officially ending American involvement in the war. Without the assistance of the U.S., South Vietnam fell to North Vietnam on April 30, 1975. The North Vietnamese achieved victory and the war in Vietnam was officially finished.
