On Tuesday, before helping the kids with their homework, I spoke to my mentor about how I was going to present my topic. She gave me ideas, which helped me a lot on figuring out what I am going to be doing for my presentation. In addition, she recommended me to do a simple presentation for the kids. I talked more with my mentor about this on Thursday. About a month ago, the kids did a presentation about their culture. Unfortunately, I was not there to see them present. It would have been an excellent time for me to observe them, since my topic is on social anxiety. But I got to see pictures of them, because my mentor took pictures of each of them as they were presenting, and this is actually what I am going to present to them. I will be showing the kids pictures of them presenting, so they get to see themselves presenting.
Aside from communicating with my mentor, I helped the kids with their homework, as usual. I usually go around the classroom and help different students. But this week, I helped a couple of them a lot more than others on both days. The two would usually ask me to help them with their reading homework. Sometimes they tend to ask me every question that the reading comprehension asks and rely on me, so I challenged them to try doing as many questions as they can on their own, and only ask me when they really struggle, which seems to have worked. Eventually they asked me less questions than they would normally do. As for the other students, I helped them with some of their homework too. I did more Math than English this week.
