4.1. Student 1 is a student who typically participates in class discussions, makes connections between concepts, and grasps new content at a pretty good rate. For this reason I was surprised to see him score a 50 in his math district assessment. I looked into it and he was doing well in problems with diagrams, and problems with labels. When it would come to word problems, he was missing even the simplest ones! I realized that he is one of the students that get the option to take exams in English/Spanish because of their proficiency. He was given his exam in Spanish, and although he is fluent that is not the language of instruction in math-- we learn in english. I think that he is having a hard time with the actual questions and reading the problem. To help him, I will pull him during my CR to review key concept vocabulary in Spanish. I will also use more visuals, definitions, and examples when doing SVE of vocabulary as a class.

4.2. Student 2 is a new coming LEP student who speaks little to no english He is having a hard time keeping up with math because content is always taught in English. His district assessment score reflects this. In order to help him I plan on staying with him for tutorials to practice english skills. We will also spend a portion of the afternoon reteaching concepts that he may still struggle with, like using algorithms to solve math problems.

4.3. Student 3 misses class often and isn't always participative in class discussion. She is not grasping concepts and her 50 (something) on the six weeks test reflects that. I will be pulling her during CR for longer periods of time to work more closely with her one on one to catch her up. I will also send her home with practice of skills that we reteach so she can get some independent practice.
