“Tell me and I'll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I'll understand.” - Chinese Proverb
My trunk has slowly become filled with a variety of things over the past few weeks. Books, curriculum, worksheets, crayons (which managed to melt in the box), paper plates, flash cards, a tub of plastic bugs... the list goes on. I started tutoring a couple of students again this summer. I've been enjoying it much more this time around.
Last summer, I tutored two kids in language arts. Needless to say, I was inexperienced. Don't get me wrong, they learned and did well on the exercises, but I'm having way more fun this time around. For some reason, I've decided to let my creativity into the mix... and it has yet to fail me! Just ONE education course and I feel like I am leaps and bounds ahead of where I was last year. My third grader actually told me she didn't want to leave! My kindergartner gets SO excited when I pull out the bugs to teach him counting. To see them having a good time and learning something is the ultimate reward. I'm amazed at how gratifying it is, and how much I learn from them every time I sit down for a session.
