"For today's session, we worked on series and parallel circuits with both resistors and capacitors. The student has the theory down well and just wanted some assistance understanding the harder problems on his recent homework assignment in preparation for his exam."

"Student 1- Spelling words. By the 3rd attempt, only missed 1/12. Misspelled fruit. Read simple passage with 3 questions. She answered well and progressively better. Student 2 - 5Ws with playing tag. Simple math homework recognizing tens and ones. Student 3- Mental math with fewer fingers, was more precise today. Student 4- Much better today. Remembered last two lessons in order to complete hw from a day ago at a bit quicker more independent, confident, and willing pace. It seems that if I leave her alone and I am occupied, she settles into full work mode. Also wrote 12, 8, and 9 times table. I taught her a trick for 9."

"The student and I covered SN1, SN2, E2, and E1 reactions and their mechanisms. We also covered some questions out of his book, and questions I gave him to practice. He was well prepared, but will benefit greatly from further practice and studying for his test tomorrow."

"In this session, the student and I continued to work on arrays. When given shapes that were circled, she was asked to identify how the array can be converted into a multiplication problem. We also worked on a little bit of division."

"The student really is an absolute sweetheart. I had to keep emphasizing that this is going to be a process for us, rather than just a series of lessons that he is expected to memorize, so there is no need to feel bad about spelling a word incorrectly. We tried some visual reminders of sight words, which seems to have some promise. We also tried some chants, which brought out the student's goofy side a little. :) We ended with a little exploration of long and short a's, and now he understands why we call them long and short."

"We began today's lesson with reading "Afternoon Art." It took the student 7:18 to read the passage. Then, I made flashcards with the words that he had difficulties pronouncing. He read them twice. After he read them, I had him repeat after me. After word review, he answered the passage's comprehension questions. The comprehension questions touched on main idea and order of events. Following the comprehension questions, he read the passage again. It took him 3:35. Then, we moved back to the flashcards. I laid them out, and he picked up the word that I said. The third reading of the passage took him 3:03. We ended the lesson with writing skills. I pushed him to begin his sentences at the start of the line."

"In today's session, we went through both a calculator and non calculator section of a new practice test. The student continues to do very well on these sections, and our focus continues to be on his attention to detail as he works through sections. We are going to meet again next week, so he will do another full practice test before then, and we can continue to review tricky problems and how best to approach them."

"Student 1 continued reading the novel that we've been working on. He is definitely making progress in his reading. Student 2 has effectively remembered the sounds for D, A, and N and is working to remember the others. He is also making large progress in differentiating consonant sounds."

"The student and I picked up where we ended our previous session, but first we went over the book problems I had assigned him. He had a clear understanding of the material as he answered every question correctly. We transitioned from simplifying, adding, and subtracting fractions, straight into multiplying and dividing fractions. We ended by briefly going over decimals. He will complete book questions over the material we covered today for the next time we meet."

"The student did a great job working on her math facts, reviewing through the fives. She is to keep reviewing her flashcards, and we will begin working on the sixes next week. She did a fantastic job counting money and then writing it out to add on the whiteboard. She was able to convert 103 cents to $1.03. We also continued with reading and going over comprehension questions. She was focused and worked hard for me."

"We reviewed sight words. The student mastered 41 sight words. He is progressing well; his positive attitude and motivation propel him. He read a difficult Level 2 book with support for decoding unfamiliar words and defining new vocabulary. He reread many sentences for fluency. He is also self-correcting while reading. We worked on words with ou/ow, oo, and ee sounds. I introduced two letters that make one sound: au and aw. We captured 10 new sight words."
