"The student finished her exploration assignment and discussion post. She started the test and should be able to finish tomorrow. "

"We spent the majority of the class time introducing the verbs "ser" and "estar," including their conjugations, usage, and definitions. We also discussed how to identify the gender of nouns by looking at the general word ending types while learning the exceptions to a few of the common rules. We will meet as a class tomorrow evening and will start to learn the conjugation of a few regular and irregular verbs."

"The student and I went over Cramer's rule today. To perform the computations of Cramer's rule, I had to explain to him how to find a determinant. This involved defining matrix minors and minor cofactors. I showed him a more compact way to write Cramer's rule down, which will make it easier to remember. I also explained the practicality of Cramer's rule: it's really not good for solving an entire system. But Cramer's rule is really useful if we only need to solve for one of the variables in a system."

"Concepts: Average - Median - Standard Deviation - Scatter Plots. The student finished studying for his in-class math quiz."

"The student and I began working on the preterite tense today. We first reviewed the regular ar, er, and ir verbs, noting that er and ir verbs are conjugating in the same way. We then looked at some irregular verbs in the preterite such as: tener, poder, poner, saber, and estar. We also looked at some stem-changing preterite verbs such as dormir and pedir, where the irregularity only occurs in the third person singular and third person plural forms. We spent a fair amount of time working on reading comprehension by doing a fill in the blank exercise in his text. The blanks all required the use of an irregular preterite verb. Some of the verbs were difficult to conjugate because the paragraph included quotations. We practiced changing the form of the verb from the third person singular to the second person singular (i.e., from "her" to "you") as required by the use of quotations."

"The student and I began sorting writing ideas on the graphic organizer. He was able to develop the main ideas from the reading passage; however, he still had some difficulty developing sub-ideas/sentences. We reviewed some thinking strategies to help expand his writing. We were able to complete the first paragraph for the essay we will be working on for the next few sessions. Overall, we had a good session today."

"We continued working today with the concepts of elimination to solve linear equations. This included using the strategies of LCM, substitution and also using values to find the missing variables. Part of today's activity was to be able to identify what strategy would work best. The student understood and was able to apply the correct strategy to solve the equations. Nice effort today!"

"The student worked on momentum, p = mv. We reviewed his class notes on momentum, and I then created sample problems to test his conceptual understanding of the material. Two of the classic momentum examples we reviewed were collisions and car airbags. We also worked on deriving and understanding two forms of the equation for momentum, p = mv and p = Ft. He completed a series of problems that required him to apply these equations to different real world situations. He did a great job of understanding both the conceptual and mathematical concepts of momentum. "

"Today, the student and I went over the 'completing the square' method for solving quadratic equations. The student slowly gained confidence over the course of the session. He commented that he did better than he thought he would on his last quiz. While doing practice problems, we also reviewed a little from last session. "

"We went over fraction addition and subtraction. We then discussed how to use an online program. I assigned particular exercises in the program for the student to do between now and the time I see him next. We will continue to practice enhancing our fractional knowledge moving forward, as that is what he expressed he struggles with most. "

"The student and I went over her homework, which was to use vocabulary words in her own way. She did a great job and seems really excited about integrating these new words into her writing. Next, we read further into Ready Player One. She is really improving with her pronunciation and her ability to read out loud! She has made obvious progress. Finally, she and I reviewed the mathematical concepts for the Unit she was working on in class. She seems to have mastered all of them!"
