On Sunday I had my last tutoring session with PJ. Fortunately both of us have gotten to a place where neither of us is shy anymore, so there is really no need for a formal beginning to the lesson. However, I asked PJ how is week was and if he had learned anything in school that was interesting.
The lesson plan was actually very easy to follow, which helped me a lot. We just had to go over about eight new vocabulary words and then watch a video that broadcasted a book. The words were pretty simple (crayons, chalk), but there was one word (smock) that kind of gave PJ some trouble. He told me he knew what it meant, so I asked him to use it in a sentence. He wrote, "I smocked my friend yesterday." This was really funny to me, but it taught me a lesson as well! Always make sure students understand concepts and words with exercises and don't take their word for it!
Overall, I am going to miss tutoring PJ very much. It was really sad to say goodbye, but I hope to see PJ and Ms. Kim in the future!
