A Tough Student...

I went to Aidan's school today and volunteered for 45 minutes with Jr. Great Books. Aidan is one of the six children I work with every Tuesday. Today we had to read the story for another time in class as another student did not even get to read it one time. The whole thing is very simple, read the first session and do a drawing, take it home to read with a parent and develop a question, finally come back for session two and have a discussion and activity. Well, Aidan got very bored while I read it for his third time. So I had him turn his green card to yellow. He seems to like giving me a tough time on a day when he chooses. He does not want the next card color which is red, then he will have to complete a form with his teacher and bring it home for me to sign. It is a fine behavioral management plan. He did okay once I was done reading the story. I am constantly tring to figure out the best way to help these children learn. He really is a tough student.
