A Gift From The Heart

 Merry Christmas, everyone! I love this time of year, and I enjoy getting gifts for the students that I tutor. It's so much fun surprising them, and I always do my best to choose something that will be perfect for each child. 

This year, I purchased 5 gifts - two for Elsie and Elliot, one for Macie, and one for Ruby and her baby sister, Dayla. I didn't want the little one to be left out. 

For Ruby and Dayla, I chose some stuffed animals with the big sparkly eyes. I think they liked them. They're so young, and they don't have a very long attention span, especially Dayla. 

      



For Macie, it was easy to choose a gift. She always wears a Minecraft hat, and she had mentioned that her dad gives her "Kinder Eggs" and she really loves it. So I got her a Minecraft shirt and some Kinder Eggs. She was really happy. 


                               

And, for Elsie and Elliot, brother and sister, I found the Elsa and Anna dolls from Frozen and... an actual Viewfinder! Like the one I had when I was a kid! I found it at Walgreens. It was the only one on the shelf, but I knew that 5-year-old Elliot would like it. It shows pictures of sharks, whales, different types of tropical fish, and even an octopus. 


              


This was all very fun, but I had a surprise, myself. After I gave Elliot his gift, he spontaneously went over and got his "giving" jar and gave me everything that was in it. (It was only about 80 cents, but that was all he had.) I was so touched that he would want to give me something in return. 

I hope you all have a special moment like that this Christmas season! 
Blessings for Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Starting High School!

 Okay, so this boy isn't one that I actually tutor. He's autistic, and I just make sure he gets up in time for school and make him breakfast, then take him to school. Today is his first day of high school!  I asked him if he was excited about starting high school, and he said no. I asked him if he was nervous, but the thing he was worried about was that he wouldn't see any of his middle school teachers anymore. And he had a new class schedule to learn, and wasn't sure he would know where each class was, and how to get there on time.  I told him to just check in the office if he didn't know where to go next. I remember starting high school, even though it was so long ago. It took me about a week to feel confident about knowing my schedule and where my classrooms were.  I'm sure he'll do fine once he adjusts to a new school. He did fine remembering his schedule at the middle school, and this will be the same way. I was surprised this morning that he got up bef...

Subbing at elementary schools!

Image
 In addition to being a tutor, I'm also a substitute paraeducator for elementary schools, and I've done it eight times now! I really enjoy it! The only thing that's difficult is navigating my way around the myriad of hallways. I've been a recess overseer, a lunch room overseer, and watched the kids while they were in line waiting for the buses to arrive. But the best part is when I get to work in the classrooms! For one teacher, I got the cardboard dividers off the shelf and set one on each desk, then made sure each desk had a sheet of notebook paper and a sheet of graphing paper and a pencil. This was all before the kids arrived. I've also done timed reading with different classes, one method being to see how many words a kindergartener can read in one minute, marking the words they read wrong, and another method where the kids in 1st grade had to read a one-page story and time them to see how long it took them, marking any words they mispronounced. I've done m...

Vowel Sounds

Image
My first post for April!  The six-year-old girl I've been working with has been learning to read blends and doing so well! Bl, tr, st, ch...  But she's started to get confused about what sounds the vowels make. So I've decided to take a break from her workbook and go back over the sounds of A,E,I,O,U. I have special lined paper in a book for young writers, and I wrote the vowels across the top of a two-page spread with lines representing columns. Then I would say a word with a vowel sound in it, like "cat," for example. Then she would need to recognize which vowel sound she was hearing, and write the word under the correct letter. (A)  I used some really easy words like bat, sit, had, dog, cup, etc. but I also included some of the newer words she's been learning, like play, trip, chug, and so on. She did okay, but she really had to think about the sounds. So I'm going to be working on the vowel sounds with her over the next couple of weeks (I tutor her onc...
