COMMENTS: Di came into a very tough environment and was able to develop a rapport with some of the

students, something difficult to do with kids who trust few people. When teaching her lesson she adapted well by giving the students the use of a calculator once she say they were struggling with adding a big group of numbers. She kept FJ focused throughout the lesson and allowed NH to work ahead by himself since he was understanding the subject quickly.
