after school tutoring #18

On Monday, SJ had his tutoring session with Mrs. Banks.  They are still reading Tarantula Shoes.  SJ is really enjoying it.

She said he read very nicely for her. However, when it came time to do the comprehension questions, SJ didn't know most of the answers.  

She explained to him that he needed to pay attention when she was taking her turn reading. Instead, he was figetting and constantly looking around the gameroom.  

She told him that he would have to reread the chapter to find the answers.  He wasn't happy about that, but he did comply.  

They also did a spiders glyph.  He had to decide the color of the spider's eyes (orange-he likes spiders), the color of the spider's legs (black-he doesn't have a pet spider), the color of the spider's body (white and brown-he captures it and takes it outside when he sees a spider in the house), the name on the line (no one-who in the family is afraid of spiders), the color of the web (yellow-he has read Charlotte's Web), amount of shoes on the spider (2-he finds it interesting that spiders can't fly, but they can balloon from one place to another), what kind of hat to draw on the spider (sombrero-he finds spiders in the garage) and the color of the barn's beam (red-he thinks people are afraid of spiders because they bite.) Here is the finished glyph.
