A great first session!


"Men give me credit for some genius. All the genius I have lies in this: When I have a subject in hand, I study it profoundly. Day and night it is before me. I explore it in all its bearings. My mind becomes pervaded with it. Then the effort which I have made is what people are pleased to call the fruit of genius. It is the fruit of labor and thought." Alexander Hamilton


From my understanding, when a topic is at hand I have to know everything about it. I have to study it inside out and become the subject. In the end, I will have mastered everything I need to know about it. It's like Ahrian. From last semester, I got to know him by doing tests, talking to him, getting to know his likes and family background. From my diagnostic report, I now know his strengths and weaknesses. I will try to work my recommendations for him to be a better student.


My first session with Ahrian was great! I found out that we went up a level with the graded word lists. I am so proud of him! He gets so excited when he picks out a book. It's awesome to see him grow in just a few months. I need to work on his writing. It was great seeing everyone's student. I know that everyone will do well in reassessing their student. Have a great week!

  2. Hello Cef. The best of all our work is when we watch our students progress, and see them so ecstatic as they succeed. I can't wait to see my student grow and move up as Ahrian has from last semester. Donovin is excited to learn. He's excited to give his all and be able to "read".

    Best Regards,
    Sheila

  3. Ahrian has a wonderful teacher to guide him in his early years of schooling. Now, now, now, this comment cannot be an active ingredient to allow your head to swell up. Just keep this to yourself. Wait till graduation day and let it all out.
