Was able to create a line graph using provided information. He did, however, forget to give his graph a title and had some neatness problems. Otherwise he used the correct scale and placed the dots in the correct spots (mostly). ||

Adaptations -work through the writing process -test explanations orally -30 minutes set aside at home for homework/reading -use of a calculator -enough time to finish tests -use of a computer for written assignments (compare to handwritten work) -organizational support

In-class observations:

- Usually focusing well in class. Working hard on assignments.

- Taking time to enure his writing is neat - without reminders. Seems to be taking pride in his neatness. Often asks for validation while completing his written work.

- Minimal homework is assigned, but Edward's is not being completed. He is often seen scrambling to finish math questions right before we mark it as a class.

- Engaged in class novel study. Has trouble taking breaks between chapters. Really wants to know what will happen next.

- Always contributing thoughtful ideas to class discussions.

- Demonstrating good comprehension of the novel (we are reading out loud and discussing as we go).

- Making connections.

- During discussions, will sometimes go off on a tangent and needs to be reminded to stay on topic.

- One day in late September, Edward was home sick but I found him hanging around outside the classroom at around 2:15. I brought him into the classroom for safety reasons and explained to him that if he is home sick, he may not be on school property without an adult. Edward said that he was feeling better and was there to pick up his friend Jamie as they had made plans for after school. The incident was reported to Joel and he said he would call home and talk to Edward's mom about it. It seems that Edward was in the care of his older sister on the day this occurred.

- I have some concerns about Edward's diet. Many days he does not bring a lunch. When he does, it is only a bag of popcorn or something similar. He indicated to me that he does not eat breakfast. He insists he is not hungry.
