"The student and I met today because I will be out of town this Friday. The session went well. I introduced the course and homework formats to her. We then did the introduction to critical reading looking at the three questions: purpose, central idea, and structure. We spoke about the three different purposes: analysis, argument, and narrative. We worked a lot on paraphrasing and having the right attitude toward the passages since that is something that she struggles with in general. It went well. We also talked about vocabulary study strategies. She is very motivated right now even though she is pretty tired after school."

"The student has a Calculus quiz tomorrow, so we spent tonight's session preparing for it. We began by reviewing some homework on finding derivatives numerically and analytically, after which I went over another problem set he had done on his own with only trivial mistakes. I concluded with a brief study drill consisting of freshly-created practice problems incorporating all of the concepts which will be on the quiz. The student performed flawlessly on this review, leading me to believe that he is sufficiently prepared for the quiz."

"The student and I began today with some reading comprehension. This particular passage was taken from a practice test. She read the first half of the passage and I asked her several comprehension/inference/prediction questions. Then she read the remainder of the passage, we discussed it, and she answered some multiple-choice comprehension questions. She did a great job with this one! Then we moved on to a non-fiction reading passage, which was a bit more of a challenge for her, but after talking through some of the details she did a great job answering comprehension/extension questions. We spent the second half of the session on multiplication practice, including a timed test and some practice reciting facts aloud to help with memorization. She is making progress and will continue to do so with our continued practice!"

"To begin, we went over the practice questions from the ISEE manual. He did very well on the algebraic concepts in the math section. We went through about 4 reading passages. I explained how to prove his answers and how to identify the main purpose of the passage. Then, we practiced the vocabulary section. He was able to identify many of the stems and prefixes. We also talked about identifying parts of the words that he had maybe heard before. Lastly, we discussed the fill in the blank sentences. He did very well at using the strategies we discussed on Monday."

"The student's lowest area was critical reading, so we started out with sentence completions. Then, we discussed the first math section he had done previously. After that, we practiced reading passage strategies and then did another math section. The session went well. He was alert and processing information throughout. :-)"

"Tonight we spent time reviewing the student's French vocabulary. We also practiced the body parts again. The student can successfully point to the part when I ask "ou est le nez?" (where is the nose?). We spent some time playing a 'catch the ball counting game.' During the second half of the session, I guided him in writing numerals. We worked on numbers 2 - 11. He is improving in his identification of the number as well as writing the number and loves transferring back in forth between saying the number in French then English, English then French. For example, he says trois, that's three in English. "

"Overall, both students behaved well during their tests. I did note, however, that one student finished many of his sections very early. For example, he finished the writing section in 7 minutes! I noted this to the teacher, and after explaining to the boys that they had plenty of time, they seemed to use their time more wisely during the second half of the test. It was a pleasure working with these students. Both were respectful and very well-behaved."

"Today we went through assessment test 3 and reviewed the mistakes that the student made. We were half way through the physical sciences section when we finished. He seemed to comprehend things extremely well, but needs to review the physical science material. "

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"We started by working some on the reading comprehension section-- he is getting better with these, and I think that if he reviews it a little more before the test he will do well on this. We then worked some math problems-- there are still some types of problems he has trouble with, but he has gotten a lot better with these, and I think the practice has really helped him. We talked a little about test-taking strategies and made sure he understood the format-- and also he said he would review some vocab before the test. I feel like he is much better prepared for it now, and I think he is ready for it. It was a good, productive session!"

"I worked with the student on science and English this time. He is making progress in his confidence with the test and his timing."

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"This session we worked on the student's homework that involved subtraction. We continued to work on what is subtraction and how do we subtract using manipulatives. Also, reading response journal was completed."

★ ★ ★ ★

"At the start of the lesson, I distributed a vocab "quiz" to the students to reiterate the importance of studying the vocab. We then discussed the math section, in general, and went on start working on some practice problems on the blackboard as a group. We ended the lesson reviewing the essay."
