I decided to go to a different classroom on Friday to get a chance to meet more kids. I worked in the classroom with the girls this time, and it was an adventure. I quickly learned that the girls have way more attitude and are much more talkative. They asked for a lot more help, and were very vocal when they didn't understand something. The few boys in the classroom were stone faced and worked diligently almost the entire time.
I only had the opportunity to help one student during this session because the girls latched onto the other tutors and wouldn't let them go. The boy I helped was confused with the wording of one questions in his packet. After reading through it a few times together, I helped him figure out what the question was really saying. He completed the rest of his work without any trouble. I was glad he asked for help, because he could have easily missed several points by reading the questions wrong.
We finished the day with a rousing game of Trivial Pursuit, where I noticed the girls became increasingly quiet. They are loud and boisterous in their classroom, but once you get them in a larger group they do not want to participate. I'm interested to learn more about these girls.
