Eighth Meeting. April 14, 2014. Running total - 16 hours.

For today, I came at the time when the class was ready to start on their homework period. I was at one of the tables for the whole working period, helping with a kindergartner with their simple assignment while trying to teach another student how to complete assignments for their "All About Me" booklet. They were able to complete most of it, to my mentor's delight. The kindergartner I was still assisting had trouble with identifying objects that started with a certain letter, and a simple word search that only consisted of finding a single word multiple times. I was a little bit frustrated at the student for not understanding everything I was telling them and all the hints I was giving to help them finish the assignment. 

After the homework period, the art activity for the day was a small packet part of the "All About Me" booklet. It was about their country's capital, Washington D. C. and consisted of the students coloring the U. S. seal and writing ideas on what they would do if they were president. Many of the kids had wild ideas, and a few had really intelligent ideas about what they'd do with their power. One of the crazier ideas was to have ice cream sundaes on Sundays, and a well thought out idea was to limit air pollution and ban whatever added to it if it went over the quota. I walked around the room to help students who needed it and told a few of them to focus on their own work when they started to talk across the room and get out of their seats. 

When the students began to finish a couple pages of the packet and began turning it in to my mentor, I was given the task of removing staples off of the bulletin board borders on the wall and take off the butcher paper that used to hold previous art projects.
