"He completed his homework (he did the work and I checked and answered questions). This covered reflections, rotations, and symmetry. Then he completed the mid-chapter quiz from his book. Finally, we started the chapter 9 review. (He got 92% and 97%)."

"Today we worked on calculating sales tax, rebates, discounts, and finding which items were the best value. The student seemed to understand these problems very well after we did a few. Rebates are a little more tricky for her but after practice she seems to understand it better."

"The student and I set up goals to use for study. HIs attitude to what I presented was excellent. I presented him with pictures he could use to expand his creativity, and he enjoyed it and kept his attention on what we did. The strategies I included in this session were to look at a picture and imagine what a title might be for that book. We followed up with ideas of what would follow. He took home a book for extra practice, and I gave him some copies of the pictures we had worked on at the session. I suggested to his mother that she be less concerned about perfecting his printing at this age and that staying within the lines when he colors is less important than encouraging his imagination and creativity. He is extremely intelligent and is eager to do his best."

"I met with Student C for honors geometry. We worked on coordinate geometry concepts: finding the midpoint of a segment, determining the slope of a line, parallel and perpendicular lines. We reviewed his homework and how to construct the altitude of triangle using a compass/ straight edge. I met with Student M for honors algebra. We worked on solving multiple step equations with fractions/ decimals and with the variable present on both sides of equation. He completed the homework assignment. "

"The student and I focused on her writing prompt about Crime and Punishment today. We focused mainly on outlines and brainstorming before we got to writing so that her ideas would flow more easily. I believe she did a really great job and learned valuable skills. "

"We went over parabola construction and equations. The student had already known the basic equation for the parabola, but didn't know how to apply focal length. I gave him some tricks on how to apply focal length to the equation. We also went over the differences between vertical and horizontal parabolas. We finished the session reviewing homework problems. "

"First, we went over how to graph harmonic motion questions. Initially, the student didn't understand how to create models for the harmonic motion questions. However, after we did 4 examples, she was able to determine amplitude, period, frequency, and vertical shift very well. We also went over graphs of secant and cosecant functions. "

"Today, we worked on vocabulary, equations, geometry, and reading comprehension. The student remains upbeat but struggles a bit with vocab and some math concepts. I've suggested again he start really practicing his grammar with the flashcards. In addition, he is improving on the reading comprehension."

"I helped the student on an assignment for his English class. He had to look over 3 poems and analyze their rime, meter, structure, and meaning. I mostly helped him with meter, since he had a hard time counting syllables. I also helped him become more precise in his interpretation of the meaning of the poems."

"The student is making progress in her understanding of cellular respiration. She has a quiz on this material next Monday. We will continue to work on understanding terms and the process in general when we meet again this weekend. We'll also do some multiple choice practice problems in preparation. "

"We covered systems of quadratic equations and using the elimination and substitution method. The student did not struggle much; she just needed practice and guidance to achieve the right procedure. "

"We worked more on rhyming words with the a refresher of the thumbs up/thumbs down game from last session. Then we worked more on rhyming words using Bananagrams letters to create words in the same word family (-at, -it, -ug, and -ed) and he wrote the words on lined paper. Then we did the phoneme awareness jumping game from a few sessions ago to practice his spelling words. After that I introduced a new activity-- sight word bingo. We took turns drawing cards and calling out the words which we had to find on our bingo cards. Last, we read two of his books from school and one of the books I brought with rhyming words. "
