At four today I met Mathew and David for tutoring at the
public library. They did not have any reading homework today but I was going to
help them get a head start on a project covering De Soto. Today was a very
frustrating day. It seemed that Mathew did not want to sit still. He went to
the bathroom, constantly requested to look for books, and eventually told me he
did not want to research De Soto anymore and resorted to doing math homework. The
problem was though is that he had a question regarding his math homework that I
was unable to answer. As a result I worked primarily with David with the work
on De Soto. David is actually great at reading comprehension. I was switch off
reading with him paragraph by paragraph and then ask him to summarize what
happened in one to two sentences. He did remarkably. I praised him for his work
and he responded well too. He does still need some work on his handwriting but
otherwise David behaved extremely well. It was Mathew who was rambunctious
today.
