Student Name: Mathew Hong
Date: Wednesday, January 29, 2015 Grade 4th Location:
Leon County – Leroy Collins, 4:30pm
Skill – Speaking
He selected as usual a book from Mary Pope Osborne titled “Sunset
of the Saber tooth” – Dairy of a wimpy kid. He read one chapter really fast and
he wrote a summary in 90 seconds. I did ask Matthew why he always reads Mary
Pope’s books and he did not wanted to answer my question. I tried to reason
with him of how advantageous will be for him to consider other types of books for
his age.
I helped him with his math homework and reviewed his
writing, suggested some editions and made them.
I brought with me samples of 2 types of rocks and to my
surprise Matthew started talking about his interest in rocks. I shared with him some facts about the rocks that I have on
my collection. Gave him a small rock sample as I promised from our last
conversation and he was really happy. Gradually he is becoming more communicative
and looks forward to see other types of rocks.
Lesson Learned: I cannot give up on my quest to find out why
Matthew does not want to read for homework other books besides Mary Pope’s. Always provide the mother with a brief report
on what is going on with the tutoring.
