They read a few more chapters of The Island: Survival book. SJ is still very engaged with it. I am very glad she chose it as their reading book. She said he eagerly read and managed the questions well.
They also worked on a teacher glyph. SJ had to decide the color of his hair (brown-he is a boy), the color of the shirt (blue-his teacher is a man), the color of the pants (orange-he has homework every night), the color of his shoes (brown-his teacher makes learning fun each day), what math facts to write in the squares (2 subtraction and 2 addition facts-he is confident sometimes), the color of the book (green-no one in our family is a teacher) and the color of the globe (green and blue-he is not sure if he would want to be a teacher). Here is the completed glyph.
I was surprised that he colored the teacher's shirt blue, since he hasn't had a male teacher since Mr. Gold in fourth grade. Then I remembered something Mrs. Banks told me when I picked him up. She told me SJ told her he wasn't going to have her as a sixth grade home room teacher. He said that I told him that he would either have Mr. Brown or Mr. Logan, since he already has Mrs. Banks for a tutor. It would maybe be too much for him to have her as a tutor and a home room teacher. I told him I didn't want to switch tutors, since she is doing such a great job with him.
Of course, I did say all those things. I wasn't counting on him telling her that, though. At least she was not upset over it. Honestly, I don't know who he is getting. We will find out next Monday.
