"Change is not merely necessary to life - it is life. --Alvin Toffler
With only three more tutoring session left, I will have to make up the session for today. It was quiet in my room today. When you get used to the pattern of tutoring, one day with no session feels quite different. Life is about accepting things you cannot change, and realizing that our health is most important. Like any concerned parent, teacher, or mentor, I hope she gets well. However, I managed to make use of my time for and started uploading the pictures for our PowerPoint into my computer. After all, time is ticking away. I will be sending each of you an attachment of the photos. Christine did a great job on taking many pictures, so emailing them to you may take some time. Don't worry, you will all get your copies. I also used this time to go over the addendum that will be due in a couple of months. I recently read an article which the author mentioned that to understand the needs of a struggling reader, try tutoring one. When we complete this course in a few months, the strategies that were used will help us in our future occupation as Reading Specialists.

Annette,
ReplyDeleteI feel you! Making up is time consuming, but on the flip side your able to catch up on the other assignments! This wasn't my day! I hope your testing goes well! I start mine next meeting!
You'll be happy for the head start on the project in a few weeks! Thanks for taking the lead on that part. Have fun doing your make up sessions with the QRI, hopefully you'll see some gains.
ReplyDeleteWhile I hope that I won't have to do a make-up session with my student, I realize that I'll end up having to conduct more sessions outside the literacy lab. Something tells me that I need more time to complete all the necessary assessments. Thanks for taking the lead on our literacy powerpoint!
ReplyDeleteI know our PowerPoint is in very capable hands, Annette. Thanks in advance for our beautiful and MAGECal project! I guess trying something different helps us realize the value of our sessions with our students.
