Erik is confident and bright in math. He is proficient with the above goals, and is working on multiplication and division.

David has shown progress and growth in the area of vocabulary and concept development. He struggles with punctuation and I work with him on revising run-on sentences and helping him to determine whether or not certain words require capitalization.

Accurately multiply and divide. Memorize to automaticity the multiplication table for numbers between 1 and 10.

David continues to work on understanding and accuracy in subtraction with regrouping, and multiplication with multi-digits. He is also working on problem solving, and determining the appropriate mathematical operation to be used.

Jeovana came into the program with good reading comprehension skills. In comparison, her reading comprehension skills are now very good. She is very interested in reading and listening to others read. She struggles with the structure of her sentences when writing, but has demonstrated growth and improvement in this area since she began the program.

Jeovana is very confident and bright in mathematics. She clearly has strong number sense and understanding of the relationships among numbers. She is strengthening her skills in multiplication, and moving forward with problem solving.

Rosa excels in her ability to identify the meanings of unknown/unfamiliar words, sentences, and paragraphs. She will continue to practice sentence structure and punctuation in her writing. She works on area-specific tasks and assignments in class, such as combining sentences, reading and correcting run-on sentences and paragraphs, and revising and helping to edit the work of her peers and herself.

Rosa is comfortable with the four operations, but needs continued practice with division. She is developing greater confidence and speed with math problems. She will continue to work on problem solving strategies, as well as the four operations with fractions and decimals.
