Last Month With Leah

Last Month With Leah

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.
