Kersten TS #6

On Wednesday, February 8^th I met with my child tutee Kavira for the second time from 4:30-5:30 at her house. The children all wanted to go outside again, so that’s what we did. I did the ball dribbling exercise with them again to see if they remembered how to count to ten, and they were much better at counting this time. One of the main problems with tutoring outside is that a lot of the neighborhood kids are curious and like to join in. During this session Kavira and her friends played on the playground next to her house. I taught her different colors and tried reinforcing these colors by pointing to different items on the playground or just anything that was the same color as the one I was trying to teach her. For example, if the I taught her the color black by pointing to my car (which is black) and saying black, and then pointing to my hair which is also black. She learned quickly, and her favorite color to say is orange because in the beginning she would always answer orange no matter what color I pointed to. But after awhile she understood and was learning the simple colors like blue, green, red, and yellow. Seeing how quickly she learns, I’m excited to come back next week.
