Lesson Comments
Today's session with Aiden was productive and beneficial with strengthening his comprehension and skills with various percent word problems, especially involving percent of change calculations.
Aiden is doing well noting the author's attitude and prejudices (which he finds very disagreeable) . I discussed the ethos of 1930s America ,not to justify the writer's attitude ,but to contextualize it. We further explored the writer's life philosophies and discussed how her interaction with the rural community and nature inform her views. Today, we specifically noted her rejection of materialism in pursuit of happiness. Last, we reviewed Aiden's study guide homework and made modifications where needed regarding the author's desire to be respected by the Black community notwithstanding her prejudice.

Lesson Comments
During today's lesson on Percent of Change and Percent of an original value, Aiden initially struggled with
several basic examples due to a method that I did not recommend. Later in the class he had better success with percent word problems because he realized that the method which I taught and encouraged him to use was much more effective for him.
Aiden finished his drawing of the skeleton and will add its teeth. He is bringing his sketchbook home and is going to draw the teeth this weekend. I am happy to see Aiden excited about drawing.
