"Your role as a leader is even more important than you might imagine. You have the power to help people become winners." --Ken Blanchard
The session went rather smoothly. We worked for only an hour, because my knee was hurting, and I just needed some rest. In any case, we have accomplished much during our session. B.M. has been improving so much. I keep reminding him that he knows, he just needs to be reminded. Many times when prompted he is able to recall the events. Sometimes he also says, "I knew that." I noticed that when I administered the expository story “The Octopus” B.M. had much to say about the story. He had mentioned to me that they are studying that at school, and in reading class they had read all about the octopus. It was interesting because B.M. usually does not do well on the expository stories, but he said since he read about it in reading class, he knows a lot.
I also mentioned to C.M. that next week, since they are going to be on Easter Break, she doesn’t need to bring B.M. to our session. We will meet again on the 12th of April. I’m wondering if this will be our last session. Because the following week I am going to be starting to draft up my case report addendum. I am also going to be preparing many things for our Literacy Celebration. When Dr. Rivera returns we will be discussing the calendar in more detail.
When we were finished with our session C.M. came in to the room, and we discussed how we are going to be having the "Celebration." While we were discussing, B.M. was writing on the white board. I thought it was cute, and I noticed it only when I was cleaning up and securing the room. I took a picture of it....and it is my image for my posting today.

Joe,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear that B.M. is improving with each session. Your image posting is fitting and indeed says a lot about how B.M. feels about the literacy sessions. It is obvious that he enjoys the reading activities with you.
Time is moving fast, so be sure to continue to stay on top of things, including the logistics of the family literacy celebration, parental involvement, lesson plan, addendum, etc.
Keep up the great work! Take care of your knee and stay well.
Best regards,
Dr. Rivera
