Journal 2

Wednesday was my first day at service learning and I really enjoyed my time. When I first got there I started tutoring students with their homework. I first started with a 3rd grader that needed help deciding what is soft, hard, and rough. The second kid that I tutored around need help writing a paper about her trip to the museum. The third kid was my favorite; he needed help with science and math homework, he was asking me a lot of questions and made a lot of jokes. By the time I was done, it was 430 and I was assigned to sports and fitness. I went to gym where the kids played kickball. I was taking pictures of the kids playing kickball. It was so much fun watching them play kickball, the kids where taking the game really seriously. When the 2nd group of kids came into the gym, the teacher said it was open gym, and most of kids played soccer. However, three girls asked if I wanted to play volleyball with them. It was a lot of fun considering that there wasn’t any net, and we made rules while were playing the game. Im looking forward to my next visit on March 30th, too meet their parents and take more pictures. These kids are a lot of fun and Im looking forward volunteering again.
