When I arrived to Ben's classroom he shut the door on me. He told me NO. I opened the door and told him how rude that is, and it's not up to him whether we have class or not. He told me he just arrived and wasn't ready for class. I told him I was going to retrieve the computers and he had a few minutes to get ready, but when I returned we were going to finish the MAPS test. When he saw that I was upset from him shutting the door on me, he became very friendly, in almost an apologetic way. I think he realized that wasn't appropriate to do.
We began testing. He again worked hard on the problems, articulating his way through each. The problems are starting to get challenging for him and he was seeming to become defeated. I let him know it's ok not to know everything, that I appreciated his efforts, and that if he needed to take a guess to move on, that is ok. He did not finish the test, so we will resume next period.
