Last Day at Balara

It was our last day teaching at Balara Elementary School, and goodbyes were on the way.  We started off the post-assessment with Dale.  

We let him read some words and then some sentences and then when we came to the letters part, he seemed to have difficulty at identifying them and writing them.  It's like he forgot his letters.  Even one of my fellow tutees got a little stressed because of that.  He wasn't also able to connect the big letters to the small letters properly.  I didn't know what happened to him.  But anyway, we pushed through with the post-assessment and went to the reading of the story.  During the story, he was also unable to answer the questions properly.  Then I realized maybe he was already tired so we quickened our pace and skipped the questions that he could not answer.

After the post-assessment, our group (composed of five) made a circle around Dale and left our last messages to him.  We then gave him a gift consisting of a book, some crayons and some grade 2 pads.  We then said our good-byes and went home.
