tutoring

This summer I am working as a summer tutor at the Shelton Scholar's tutoring program. Shelton, is a local private school that works with students with learning differences. So far my experience is going well. The program is three hours a day from 9-noon Monday-Friday. The student I am working with for the first hour and last hour is a great kid and a hard worker. The middle hour works on auditory processing with students. I work the middle hour in the auditory class with 5 and 6 year olds, and am having a great time with them. The student I am working with the first hour and last hour is 12 and going into 6th grade. So, it is interesting working with a 12 year old then switching to 5 and 6 year olds and then back to a 12 year old. I am enjoying the experience as I did last year and always learning. I feel this dynamic really helps me in fine tuning and being able to feel comfortable working with any age. That is also something I have learned subbing too. So, half a week down and two more days left then the program end July 22.

A funny story

Yesterday, Thursday a friend and myself were at the mall. Now since father's day is approaching there are a lot of father's day sales etc. So, I went to buy a shirt for my boyfriend, and the person in the store helping asked if it was for father's day. I said nope just for my boyfriend just because kinda thing. Then she asked again and I am thinking nope still not for father's day for so many reasons the first one being we don't have any kids and the second being we are not married. So, my friend and I went in another store. She was buying some clothing for her husband and yet again the sales person asks, is it for fathers day. She says nope just for my husband and added that they did not either have any kids yet. It was just so odd that people kept asking and even though we both said no it's not for father's day.

Wicked

Last night, my Mom and I went to see the show Wicked in Fair Park one of the Dallas Summer Musical's latest show on tour. It was great. My Mom and I had seen it a few years back too. This show was a little different with some of the special effects they had. All in all I loved the show. It is one of my favorites I have seen by far.
