When Sofia goes through a math question (with no words) she understands the steps she must take first. Finding the multiple and of course, simplifying. However, she seems to overthink and questions whether a ratio can be simplified.

Sofia confuses herself by using the incorrect number to simplify which makes the process take longer, hence she usually finishes a question in 5 minutes. Furthermore, she struggles heavily with reading, thus in the next lesson we will focus heavily on solving worded math problems.

Caleb seems to do well in writing similes, alliteration and coming up with ideas for a picture prompt. Additionally, he seems to do well when it comes to identifying how to make a fragment a complete sentence.

Caleb needs to get into the habit of using literary techniques, especially in creative writing. He seems to struggle with writing content and only writes using very simple sentences. Must be reminded to describe the subject using: sight, taste, touch, smell, and hear. Seems to have a hard time writing for metaphors and rhetorical questions. Caleb must work on his spelling as I believe it has not improved to the extent that I would like it to. Needs to work on his memory recall and sounding out words when he spells as he often forgets to add a letter.

His concentration was a bit lacking, as I believe he was tired and sleepy. He managed to answer every question that was given so that was appreciated. Caleb seemed to excel in writing and planning based on the picture prompt.

Caleb was unable to correct the spelling of words, that he has seen in the previous lesson plans. He continues to spell words based on how they are said. Needs to remember the definitions of literary techniques and must practice on creating metaphors.

Caleb’s reading improved greatly as not only can he understand what a passage is saying, but also, he can extrapolate ideas based on the information given. He is aware that some questions are made to trick readers into thinking an information is stated in a paragraph, when in fact it was not.

Despite writing the difficult words 4 times prior to spelling them, he only managed to receive a 50%. A word that he finds very difficult is “immediately.” He still spells words based on how they are pronounced, rather than memory recall.
