Time with Leah has been dwindling down each month. I have seen her once so far this month, and Jennifer has suggested that today will be our last session together. During our previous visit, we began with studying her multiplication tables. Later we began studying information on China since Leah had a history test on it the next day. We focused on that for the majority of our time together, since Leah did not have much homework. When studying I repeatedly asked her the same questions in a different order until she knew everything by heart. During our final session together, she told me that she did well on her test, only getting one wrong. I was glad that I found a way that worked for her. Additionally, on our last day together we began working on a graphic organizer she had to complete for Passport Day. Leah wanted France to be her country for Passport Day, so she had to come up with three reasons with supporting details as to why she deserved to have France over other students. Leah was very motivated to fill up her organizer with the best reasons and details she could find. Since only one student could have France, she was determined to be the student. I helped her through it, and together we were able to finish it on time. Leah was happy with the results and I hope it was enough to get her the country she wants. Afterwards, Jennifer spoke to me about how much Leah has improved since the beginning of the year, especially when it comes to her reading. She was very happy with the improvements, and I am glad that I helped Leah catch up. Although it was our last day together, I am hoping I can continue to help her next year. I left an impact on her life, and she left one on mine. Thursday, May 18, 2017

April With Leah
April With Leah
During the month of April, I have not seen Leah as much as I usually do. Rather than seeing her every week on Wednesdays, I have only seen her for one Wednesday in April. Between her getting sick, me getting sick, and spring break, we have not been able to have time together. I am hoping she has been improving on her skills, if not I plan on pushing her to get back to where she was. Although the school year is almost coming to an end, I will do my best to help her reach her best. We only have one more month until June, and with June comes a summer mindset. Leah will most likely be more excited about summer than she will be on her schoolwork, or the schoolwork will lessen to almost nothing. She has worked hard all year, and she deserves to be rewarded for everything that she has achieved. Therefore, I am going to have to use May as my “final stretch”. It is the last month to continue to help her reach her potential. Once summer hits, Leah deserves to be a kid. She deserves to run, swim, and explore. She has earned it.
