About Festus
Located in Jefferson County, Festus is a city in Missouri that makes up the second of the "Twin Cities." The first to settle the area was Charley Conners in 1803. From there, the community established itself around 1879 and was nicknamed Tanglefoot due to the saloons. The name Festus was chosen later, when the community wanted to incorporate. There are two theories as to how this name was selected, though both generally agree the name is based on the Bible.
The community is served by two districts, the Festus R-VI School District and the Jefferson R-VII School District. There are also two private schools.

"We completed the Second Semester Final Review Packet: Part 1. The student completed the Review Packet Part 2 and was happy with it. Then we looked at a few problems from an end of course assignment from the book. His final exam will be Thursday. He is well prepared for it."

"The student and I began the session by working on addition and subtraction skills with regrouping and borrowing. We focused on just the algorithm today, and we worked problems ranging from 2-by-2 to 3-by-3. I decided to randomize the problem in order to see if he really understood the concept rather then just going through the motions of working the problems with me. I allowed him to work the problems by himself, but if he had any questions he was supposed to ask. He seemed very confident and worked through the problems by himself. He is even becoming more fluent with his basic facts, and it shows by how many more problems we are able to complete.
I then introduced him to an app on my iPad that focuses on fact fluency. He has an iPad as well, so we decided to download the app and have him record his score and time overtime he practices the facts. We created a little chart to leave on the refrigerator so he can track his progression in between sessions.
We then moved to working on counting money. We used the manipulatives first, but then I had him work the problems on my iPad. I wanted him to see the visual difference because when it comes to state testing, he will be taking the test on a computer screen. At first, he had a hard time distinguishing between the coins, but after some practice, he was able to pick out certain coins and count how much money he had.
We ended the session by reviewing fractions of a whole and also drawing out multiplication and division facts."

"For this session we mostly focused on chemistry. We went over several problems that the student had on a concentration worksheet. For each problem, we reviewed the concepts and formulas involved and then walked through them. We didn't do much with geometry today, but I gave her 12 practice problems on areas and perimeters to do before we meet next week. "
