Entry: Tutoring 10/27/09 Nov 3, 2009



Last week, Lisett was not there for tutoring, so I worked one on one with Jasmine. She informed me that last week she had pneumonia and was out of school for the entire week. As a result, Jasmine fell slightly behind on her work last week and we had a lot of catching up to do. I felt like while I was working with Jasmine one on one she had a better work ethic because I was giving her my full attention. Jasmine and I have never gotten all of her work done in the hour before, but this time, even though we had extra, we ended up finishing after about 40 minutes. So, for the last 20 minutes or so we read books that Jasmine actually wanted to read instead of just school books. She'd picked these out at the book fair that they had at the school. One of them was about lions and tigers and other members of the cat family. She was so excited to be reading and learning about science from the book; it really made me proud of her. Sometimes I feel like Jasmine doesn't want to learn quite as much as Lisett because she often "forgets" her books or doesn't focus as well on her homework, but I think that is all a result of proper attention not being paid to her. After working with her alone, I definitely think Jasmine has a drive to learn.
