We worked hard to try and complete his first of two essays due this weekend. We finished the outline and began the first draft. We should be able to finish the next draft in our next session. Then we can begin working on the second essay.

We reviewed for the student's final exam today. We covered more monetary policy and also reviewed some older topics such as inflation, real vs nominal GDP, and comparative advantage. She still has some difficulty with monetary policy but her comprehension is much better than before. We were able to finish one of her review packets together and skim over her study guide.

The student was finishing a short chapter that was to continue the "To Kill a Mocking Bird" story.  Her concept was fantastic.  We reviewed the story she had come up with.  We talked a little about thinking carefully about what your audience is getting out of word or phrase choice - how to make really active, descriptive selections for telling a story, and how to be sure that although we can see our story in our mind's eye, we want to be sure the writing conveys every feature of what we've imagined.  The student is good at this.

The student and I spent our session working on math problems which included fractions, multiplication and division word problems, and subtraction and addition with decimals. In addition to working with adding different denominators, we took it one step further by learning how to reduce fractions.

Today we reviewed the problem set due tomorrow. The student completed questions that ended chapter 3 on projectile motion. We then started on forces and friction, and how net force relates to mass and acceleration.

Final placement test subject test prep lesson. We covered both literature and math I, which she will take on Saturday. In lit she did better on the poetry, which she had struggled on previously, only missing a few questions dealing with symbolic and metaphorical language. In math I she is doing better with creative problem solving. Overall she is much better prepared for these two tests than when we began.
