Week 7

      This week has been slow for us. We haven’t gotten any new students and nobody was in need of help. The students we have helped have been very successful in their work, this tells us that we are on the right track and the students have benefited from our program. The people we have helped are wanting  to continue working with us and we have been keeping in contact with them.

Week 6

Last week we met with 2 students from grade 8 and we helped them study for their test on ancient China, it went pretty good and at the end they were ready for their test. We played a game with them to help them study, we wrote questions on flashcards and asked them the question and whoever answered first got the point and the person with the most points won. The game helped them with quick thinking and knowing their basic facts. This week we haven’t gotten any requests for help but we are hoping to get lots when it’s time for exams.

Week 5

This past week we have met with 2 students, both from grade 8 for about 30 minutes at lunch time. They needed help studying for a Social Studies test that will be on Friday. The topic is Ancient China, and they have a list of study questions they need to answer to prepare for their test. We helped them find answers within their notes and online. We are meeting again today (which is Thursday) with both students at lunch hour. I am planning on making a quick quiz from their notes and questions just to see what we need to work on. Since Emily and Femke are away today, Avery will be there as well in case we need any extra help.

Overall I think we are gaining students at a comfortable pace, but I think in the future we should talk to teachers and/or do a presentation to the classes to try to gain students who may need more help.
