Service Learning November 4th

My third vist at Noble elementary school was very memorable. Actors from a theater in Cleveland came in to have fun with the kids and show them acting. Mrs. Albert's class fortunately went to the actors during my time there. The kids seemed very excited. One of the kids told me that he heard from other classes that this is real fun. I had a blast and it made me want to be a kid again. The whole class including me got into costumes and performed a story of a turtle who wanted to fly. Everywhere I looked kids were laughing and smiling. I was starting to build relaionships with a lot of the kids.

Service Learning October 20th

I went to my 2nd week of service learning and it was very good to meet the actual teacher of the classroom named Mrs. Albert. The kids seemed excited  Iwas back. They gave me a lot of respect and it made me feel good. Mrs. Albert told me to give each student in the room a reading test in the hallway. One by one I took individual kids and let them read the test Mrs. Albert provided. I quickly realized the big gap in the class between kids who coud read well and others who struggled. For the ones that struggled I tried to help them sound out the words. I started recognizing names to faces by the 2nd week.

Service Learning October 13th

Today was my first day on my first ever service learning project. I am at Noble elementary school. When I first got there the principal assigned each person in my group a different classroom that we would be in for the project. I first entered and noticed that I had my first day I had a sub in the classroom. The students were a bit noisy probably because they had a sub and not a real teacher. At one point I read them a story during snack time and they seemed very into the book. I enjoyed it! Before I left several of the students camp up to me and gave me a hug. I think they enjoyed my presence.

Based off chapter nine in our book, "The School Culture" I decided to bring my highschool agenda book to class as a prop. I thought this was a perfect example because each kid in our school recieved an agenda book so we can all be organzied. With organization comes success and good note taking skills. This one item that was brought into our school's culture turned out to be a very big item that the students reacted well to and said it helped them.
