Today was my final tutoring session with PJ. We meet up in a classroom in CIES building and were joined by two classmate observers from the new session. His mother had given me several reading comprehension essay quiz activities that he had already completed before hand. On some assignments, I had to help PJ read the comprehension essays and answer the review questions with him.On other assignments, I had similar essay activities that he had completed in class and that I had to review his errors with him. Due to the amount of material, I choose to pick an essay assignment that we could complete together that I felt that him and I would enjoy doing first.
This first essay assignment was about the inner conflicts and games a group of children experienced during recess at their school playground. For my schema building activity I researched several of the games that the children played in the essay. I found several videos and articles about how to play them and some examples showing kids having fun playing them. PJ immediately related to the games that the children played in the essay from his own experience in school. He excitedly answered most of the review questions correctly on his own.
We completed several other essay assignments together as well. To my great surprise, PJ asked me if I could help him with some of the word problems in his math homework. I gladly helped and after finished our work, we played the Hang Mouse game that we had been playing in weeks prior. I have learned a lot from teaching PJ, it feels like he taught me than I taught him. I learned how help children understand complex subjects and how to keep them interested in the subject matter. Yet, probably the best lesson I learned is that I actually enjoy teaching children. Its funner and rewarding at the same time.
