Working with Mat

At the beginning of the week when we began to work together, it was a bit difficult trying to explain all the technological stuff that we learned in class to a 6th grader. I thought it was going to be a lot more work than what it was, however, we really worked well together and he was  great listener as was I to all questions he had. Mat is 11 years old and loves to play outdoor sports, while also having a love for gaming. He is a very smart young boy and when I asked him to pick anything he'd like to know he took awhile to think. Of course, I let him take his time and he finally came up with a question for me. He said he would like to learn about crickets in general but mainly why they make the noise they make. He was very eager to learn and it was a fun learning experience for me as well. I guided him with questions in order to allow him to open up and ask me more questions. His blog  didn't take long to make and he really enjoyed posting.
