I just wanted to stop by really quick and mention how much I love my new and old kids I tutor. Today at approximately 7:47p.m. Alvaro, my 11-year-old tutee, and I decided to spend the last few minutes of our session playing cards. Before I was able to get the cards out he asks if this time we can play with points. I say, "What do you mean with points?" and he says, "On a paper, can we play with points?" So I say sure of course. He hands me a pen and paper and asks me to write my name down on it. As soon as I clicked down on the pen an electric shock went through my hand and Alvaro started busting up laughing. He had handed me a gag pen that shocks you. Once he caught his breath from laughing I asked him, "So do you even want to play with points?" He looks up from bending over giggling and shakes his head with a smile on his face. I wish I had cool English tutors who I could shock when I was 11.
Also I have new additions to my English tutoring repertoire, now including a 6 year 1 week old and a 7 year old brother and sister pair. The younger brother knows 4 colors and how to count to 8, but yet hearing them repeat the animals "goose" and "horse" makes me so satisfied, I don't even mind it when a loose bogey accidentally falls on the table. Also I've never seen someone so ecstatic over the PROSPECT of coloring. Simply amazing. I love children.
