Progress Notes: Khan Academy has been a great asset to Yasmeen’s education.  She has been able to learn a lot of information in a variety of subjects.  Yasmeen’s strength is that she will watch a video or series over and over again until she understands the concepts being taught. Biology and geometry did not always come easy to her, but she persevered and stuck with them until she did understand the lessons.  History is still her strongest subject. She didn’t really connect to any era or people this year as she often does when studying history, but she did pursue her studies.  Actually, she did connect to the work of Bernini. She has spoken about how he has become her favorite artist and the Baroque Period has become her favorite time in art history.
