One of the biggest challenges you will face as a tutor is encouraging the kids to open up to you. Many of them have overcome great adversity to get to where they are today. To try to help Dereese open up to me (while also working on his writing), I devised a daily worksheet to help share his feelings.
Today is a _____ day. I am feeling ____and _____ because today I___________________. One thing that I did really well today was ____________________________. One thing that I hope to do better at tomorrow is ___________________________________________.
He responded...
Today is a good day, I am feeling great and happy because today I got a date with a fine girl. One thing that I did really well today was to get 7 digits from a seventh grader. One thing that I hope to do better at tomorrow is to see more seventh graders' seven digits!
