Summer School

Well, I still have a job. In fact, I have been working for the summer programs. I am the helper right now for 6th grade math at the school D will attend this fall. And, interestingly enough, D is in my class. I had run the possibility by him and he said that would be fine with him. I didn't know how it would work, but so far, it's been really interesting. I have seen how he behaves during class, I see what he can answer and what he can't, and I'm trying to guess where his problems are. His brain is full of holes. It is swiss cheese when it comes to skills needed for school. He cannot listen for long. He may come up with a correct answer, but is unable to explain how he got it. At other times, he will just make a wild guess that makes no sense at all. He doesn't distract other kids, but appears not to be paying attention most of the time.
I am really enjoying being there, though. Before doing the middle school program, I worked for the 3rd and 4th grade program. I really do think that it is something I would like to do for a career. It is clear that I have a lot to learn once I get to school, though. The teacher that I am working with is really cool. Young, funny, smart, cute. Ok, I have a tiny crush on him. Besides that though, I feel like this is really good experience for me.
Other than that, we have been hanging out, playing video games, swimming in our super new pool, and going to museums with free passes from the library. Things are good.
