Monday, September 14th


On September 14th, I had my fourth tutoring session with PJ. At the beginning of the session, I assisted PJ with some idiom homework he had been assigned. Once completing this, I prepared some fourth grade reading comprehension passage for him to read. The first passage I had PJ read was called "Achoo!" and it was about why we sneeze. This short, page-long passage came with comprehension questions at the end. I verbally went through the best questions and had PJ answer it to see if he understood the passage and could recall important details from it. Afterwards, we watched a video explaining why we sneeze. We then read another short passage about different types of teeth. Before the story, I asked PJ if he had lost any of his baby teeth and if it made it any harder to eat certain foods. This helped him think about how the teeth work to chew your food. After the passage, we verbally went through the comprehension questions at the end and watched a video reexplaining the different types of teeth. PJ seemed very interested in the idea of wisdom teeth and their purpose, so I explained this topic more thoroughly to him. Lastly, we read passage on sharks and some interesting facts about them. After the passage, we watched a video about Great Whites to see some of the shark facts demonstrated in the video.
