"I'm in the basement and have called for SJ. No sign of life upstairs."
"Ok. I will text him."
I then called SJ. He answered immediately. I told him that Mrs. Banks was waiting for him. He said he didn't want to have tutoring. I told him that was too bad and if he didn't go downstairs immediately there would be big trouble when I got home.
I sent Mrs. Banks another text.
"I just talked to him. He should be down shortly."
"He arrived."
After his session was over, I sent her a follow up text. I thought SJ may have given her a hard time. Here are our text exchanges.
"How was he today?"
"He was good. He really didn't complain. We talked about his birthday and Easter and then read a really long chapter. He remembered all of the details too."
"Yeah!"
Last week, SJ was waiting for Mrs. Banks when she arrived (I gave him several reminders in the morning). She sent me a text after their session was over to update me on his progress. Here is our exchange.
"SJ did well tonight. We finished reading Chapter 2 and began Chapter 3. He was able to find a lot of answers to the questions. We had a good discussion about a new character that was added to the story."
"Glad to hear. I guess he was ready for you today?"
"He was in the kitchen when I came in. He grumbled down the steps and then happily read with me."
"Good. Better than last week."
I had cancelled his appointment the next week (yesterday), because we had plans to go to a Pirates game. More to come in two weeks.
