Only til 3:30?

Every Tuesday and Wednesday from 3:00-3:30 we have after school tutoring called extended day. There is a certain group of kids that stay on those days and everyone else goes home at the regular time- 3:00. Well, today, one of the boys in my class came up and asked if he could stay for tutoring. He definitely does not need tutoring- he's one of the top students. When we asked him why he said (with a goofy smile on his face) "cause I need them." When we assured him he did not infact need tutoring, he said, "well, i just really want them." I couldn't help but laugh- why would you honestly want to stay after school for 30 minutes to relearn stuff you already know... so with a little more questioning he finally said, "i want to stay for tutoring cause it's boring at my house." More laughter. He then of course wanted to know what time tutoring was over... here was his response. "Only til 3:30- that's not very long. I want to stay here til 5!" Even more laughter! I love my soon to be job (fingers crossed, lol)!

Today was my last evaluation for student teaching too! hip-hip-hooray! It went great and the kids were wonderful- which after my last evaluation is saying something :) Only 13 more days of student teaching and 25 til graduation!!!!
