Another Pupil

*Rrriiingg Rrriiingg*

Hello?
Hi, can I speak with Jenell?
Yes this is she...
Hi, I was told to call you in regards to tutoring my daughter, Sindy.
Cool, with whom am I speaking?
Oh this is Cathy, Marcia's friend
Hello Cathy, how old is Sindy?
She's 5
And what skills do you need for her to develop?
Well, she's not reading yet....
Does she have letter recognition?
Yes...
Does she know the basic phonetic sounds of the letters?
Most of them...
Is she spelling at all?
No, not really.
Does she have any learning disabilities?

No.

Wait a second.
My schedule is really busy this month and picking up another student to work with would just be more work.... but how can I say no?? I just can't. When it comes to working with children, my heart just opens real wide and overflows with love....

So of course I keep talking

How many sessions are you looking for weekly?
What do you recommend?
Two one hour sessions per week on a specific schedule and time. She will look forward to seeing me each week and the learning will just happen.
I've heard so much about you I can't wait to start-how soon can we start?

I wanted to say next year, but I just couldn't.
We can start next week--Mon. & Wed at 5:30-6:30. She needs a notebook for me to document our work, pencils and crayons, and lot's of energy!
Okie, great, Thanks Jenell.
No problem--I can't wait to meet her!

Babe not those hot dogs!

I forgot Coco Puff and I were shopping.
