Tutee: PJ Chang
Date/Time: Friday 21 August 2015, 7:00-8:00 pm
Today was a lesson in understanding what your student is
going through outside of class. PJ was a little off today; it was a Friday and
he had been hoping to play with a friend but unfortunately his lesson cut into
his play time. He did very well in the lesson until the very last activity. We
were working on learning to read a thermometer (which is a difficult skill) and
I could tell it was stressing him out. I was doing my best to keep him upbeat,
we had even taken a brain break earlier that lesson to shake out, but right at
the end of the lesson PJ started crying. I was surprised and didn’t know what
to do. I let him have his privacy. I wasn’t sure what the appropriate behavior
was in that sort of situation. I think I did the best I could considering the
circumstances and I know it wasn’t my fault but is there a special protocol for
dealing with emotions in class?
