after school tutoring #14

This past Monday was a tutoring day.  Mrs. Banks continued having SJ read a few more chapters of Niagara Falls or Does it?   SJ willingly participated in reading the book.

He usually wants to read a chapter or a page at a time, but he had a different idea that day.  He told Mrs. Banks that they should take turns reading chapters instead.  

Of course, Mrs. Banks was okay and very pleased with his suggestion.  Some of the chapters were fairly short, but it was still progress for SJ.  

He was interested in getting to the part of the book that the cover is about.  This is what the cover looks like.

They didn't quite make it to this part of the book, but I am glad that it is making SJ stay interested.  

After they were done reading, they worked on a mystery map glyph.  SJ had to decide on the color of the detective's hat (blue-he lost something before, but he found it), the color of the detective's jacket (black-he thinks mystery books are okay.  He likes the 39 Clues books.), the color of the word mystery (red-he doesn't know a real detective.  He does know a fictious one, Scooby Doo), the color of magnifying glass handle (purple-he enjoys watching mystery cartoons), the color of the magnifying glass lens (blue-he does not like solving riddles or puzzles), the color of the words "it's a" (silver-he would need a notebook and a pencil if he was a detective) and draw a picture under the word "mystery" (he drew his IPod).  See the attached glyph.
