Hank was hesitant to come in today. His mother and I had a discussion about Hank stating that the work is too easy. However, when teaching him writing, he does not want to write. I assist him in brainstorming ideas. We have been working on an opinion writing piece for about 2 weeks and we are on body paragraph 2. I suggested to Hank that if he wanted to he can type his writing piece. His mom and I discussed with Hank what he wants to write about. He stated a hockey player and then decided that he did not want to write about him and stated that he wanted to write about, "nothing." I was able to get Hank in by stating that we were going to do a MadLib. We took a pause on our opinion writing and we discussed what some things he would like to write about. He stated that he wants to write about a salamander. He seems to be extremely excited about this. I even stated that we can make a habitat after finishing our writing and he can make a salamander out of clay with Mr. Marcus.
