Paige began working on five questions focusing on sales tax and tip percentages for her homework. I showed Paige a few examples. I emailed Mom additional examples and step-by-step solutions on how to solve for sales tax and percentages. I instructed Paige to complete numbers 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 over again at home using the examples I emailed to show her work. I hope this helps. Tomorrow, I will provide Ms. Barbara with additional examples to complete if Paige does not have homework.

Lesson Comments
Paige did not seem herself today. She seemed discouraged. I also could not tell if Paige understood my examples. This is why I sent additional examples home via email for Paige to reference to complete her homework. Once mom emailed me back her work, I was confused by the work that was shown and asked Paige to rewrite the numbers. I do not want her to get the answers incorrect. I will provide Paige with some additional practice tomorrow if she does not have homework.
Vocabulary Words, Math Project, Warm-Up Activities
Lesson Outline
Paige continued working on writing sentences for vocabulary words. Paige then shared her math project - a PowerPoint presentation on finding tax and tip from her favorite food order at a restaurant. Paige then completed two warm-up activities - twenty math questions. Paige received a 15/20. We reviewed decimals, order of operations, area, and x/y chart.

Lesson Comments
Paige had testing this week and did not have any math homework.
Paige looked up and wrote down the definitions for her vocabulary words, and then used them in a sentence. She made the bullet point summary for Chapter 5 of her literature book.
Paige completed her homework - completing a puzzle on mean, median, and mode. Paige and I reviewed her most recent quiz (which she did not do too well on) and we discussed and Paige recognized that she made simple mistakes such as multiplying and dividing wrong and not reading the question fully. She also did not put her numbers in order from least to greatest when determining the median. Lastly, I tasked Paige with a cut & paste review activity on statistical and non-statistical - reading questions and identifying if the question was statistical or non-statistical. Paige only missed one.

Lesson Comments
I think it would be beneficial for Paige to come two days a week. We reviewed her grades this afternoon and she had a 66% in English and a B in math. I definitely think more time with Barbara would be great. Paige and I discussed that adding one more day for both English and math is a good idea.
