Recent Pennsylvania Tutoring Session Notes
For today's session, we worked on series and parallel circuits with both resistors and capacitors. The student has the theory down well and just wanted some assistance understanding the harder problems on his recent homework assignment in preparation for his exam.

Student 1- Spelling words. By the 3rd attempt, only missed 1/12. Misspelled fruit.
Read simple passage with 3 questions. She answered well and progressively better.
Student 2 - 5Ws with playing tag. Simple math homework recognizing tens and ones.
Student 3- Mental math with fewer fingers, was more precise today.
Student 4- Much better today. Remembered last two lessons in order to complete hw from a day ago at a bit quicker more independent, confident, and willing pace.
It seems that if I leave her alone and I am occupied, she settles into full work mode.
Also wrote 12, 8, and 9 times table. I taught her a trick for 9.

The student really is an absolute sweetheart. I had to keep emphasizing that this is going to be a process for us, rather than just a series of lessons that he is expected to memorize, so there is no need to feel bad about spelling a word incorrectly. We tried some visual reminders of sight words, which seems to have some promise. We also tried some chants, which brought out the student's goofy side a little. :) We ended with a little exploration of long and short a's, and now he understands why we call them long and short.
