Resource

In the resource room today I helped a child with a test of place value. It included only about 8 questions, but he seemed very confused. While helping him, I noticed that he kept yawning almost every 3 mins and was very unmotivated to do his work. That accompanied by his lack in skills in math made it almost impossible for him to want to continue. The teacher excused him so he could stop for a while and work on it later. After that, a group of 4th graders entered the room to do math. One of the children was very energetic and repeated things out loud, mainly random and obnoxious things. The teacher had to remind him a couple times to stay focused. A group of girls entered the room and I was given the opportunity to lead their reading session. While reading I helped the girls sound out words and phrases, but they were able to do much of it themselves. The teacher told me that they mainly needed help with comprehension. Today I learned that patience is a key factor is teaching children with special needs, or in any circumstance.
