8th grade tutoring #6

This past Monday, SJ once again had his after school tutoring with Mrs. Banks. They started a new book. It was Toilet Paper Tigers by Gordon Korman.






Mrs. Banks said he did a good job, but he was very distracted by his cell phone. At one point, she had to take his cell phone away from him. I told her that was fine with me. "Take his phone anytime," I told her. She replied with a simple, "Lol. I will."

After she had the phone, she said he was much more focused. She told me that he seemed to like the book. It has a lot of humor and baseball terminology. It also is filled with literal meanings that he has to figure out. She said this book is much more complicated that the last novel.

Besides the phone distraction, I was glad to hear that he was able to pay attention and work on some more challenging skills. Maybe we need a cell phone jail for tutoring sessions. Just a thought.
