Student Name: Mathew Hong                                                       
Date: Wednesday, February 11, 2015.                                                                                                       Grade 4th                                                                                                                                                                       Location: Leon County – Leroy Collins, 4:30pm                                                                                      
Skill – Grammar (closed syllable) and Reading subject

He had a Cultural test exercise to practice.  Helped him with defining culture, expressions used in different cultures, and underline context words on a reading, finally he added meaning to the words.

Matthew’s mother gave us permission to bring a 4th grade story in order to replace the usual Mary Pope’s reading. To my surprise when I presented Matthew with the story for him to read he started writing on his homework book a summary of a Mary Popes story. I waited for him to finish an asked what was he doing, my goal for him that day was to read a story from a different writer. He told me since he was early at the library he read the story before I showed up and proceeded to do his routine. Patience and persistence – I decided to keep up reasoning with Matthew and asked him if his friends at school read May Pope, some do some don’t. I told him of how interesting was the story that I selected for him to read titled “The Fourth Tail” by Andrew Frinkle. To my surprise at the end of our meeting he took the story to read at home, some measure of success.

Helped him prepare for a Social Studies test. Subject – Men, Women and Children in Societies. Compared tasks performed by families in the past, chores done by family members compared with today. Interesting to see how nowadays children do few in none chores at home.


Lesson Learned: Keep persevering on helping the student change from a daily routine or pattern. Gradually they understand how beneficial is change and it will help with behavior when facing new learning tasks like reading.
