课本 第24-25课 1. review text, vocab, and grammar, and 2. bring questions to next session. Anica seemed to have a challenging start this quarter that resulted in a series of incomplete or missing homework. She has a 50% homework completion, and earned a 24 out of 30 on a quiz, followed by 83/100 and 58/100 on two tests.

There are a few more months before Anica heads towards college; I suggest that Anica commit to learning how to self regulate her learning behavior and effectively go from the passive learning mode to the more active and proactive mode. Both skills will benefit her greatly in her college experience.

I hope that Anica can regain her focus and academic acumen soon. I will continue supporting her growth as a responsible learner.
