The student still doesn't enjoy doing the problems but we went over a bunch of limiting reaction problems and as long as she takes her time on the test and makes sure she doesn't mix up the numbers.  I think that she will do better on this exam than the last, as she understands how to do the problems much better!

The student is progressing in Math and seems to be getting more confident, which is very important. However, I would like her to revisit the fundamentals as she some times forgets the basics.

The two students have finished the math section in their own practice book and each skipped some questions. The one needs more help in the math section than the other, but the other struggles more with the reading comprehension. We focused on correcting and going over the incorrect or skipped math questions in the first half to today's session. The second half we focused on synonyms. They both need some review of vocabulary words and I will send them a list of vocabulary that they should know. Their homework is to look up the words that they didn't know on the synonyms page and to do the verbal section in practice test 1. I also gave them some analogy practice and an "analogy tips" page. We will go over reading comprehension at our next meeting.

During this session, the student and I focused on her homework assignment. The assignment was focusing on special parallelograms. Some of these special parallelograms included rhombi, squares, and rectangles. All of the questions we covered were based on finding the distance between two points when given other distances and angles, finding the perimeter, or finding the area. She understands the material that was taught in class but occasionally just needs to look at the given information in a different way, or add any other information that can be gleaned, in order to see the steps needed to solve the problem.

We covered how to say what are you wearing and some basic clothing vocabulary. We had conversations between stuffed animals about what their names are, how they are doing, what they are wearing, and what color their clothes are. We also started learning to sing the French alphabet.

The student did some practice sections of writing skills and mathematics in preparation for her PSAT test. She is doing very well in the mathematics sections- she understands almost all of the concepts tested and knows how to approach most of the questions.
