Assesment #6

               Today was our sixth visit to the boys and girls club. We started by doing team activites like making a line from smallest to tallest without talking or getting into arguements. This helped the kids because they were not good at working as a team and we had to help them with the activity. Some of the children got into arguements about hight so we had to calm by telling them that it did not matter and we could not talk in the game. Then we got to work and I helped Vinncent with his math homework. He had to do problems like 2038 + 288. I helped him with the math and how to do the problems. Then after everyone had finshed their work Vinncent wanted Quinlan and I to play checkers with him. He played against Quilan while I helped him with with the game. Their were times when he wanted to move to the left when he would have lost but I told him to move right and him won. I had fun this visit and am very exited for the next visit.

Assesment #5

               Today was our fifth day visiting the boys and girls club. As usual we got there early so we played dodgeball with the kids. When we started to help the kids with homework most of the kids had little to none for some reason. So after going through all the kids to check if they wanted help most said they were done or did not need help. This was mainly because they only had english and that is always just to read and then right a small summery. Soon after I was called over by two young boys, Anthony and Vinncent to read a picture book about sharks. We learned about lots of sharks like the tigar shark. They had lots of fun and we shared many laughs. This was a good impovment in my relationship with the kids. This day was more of a visit to become more connected with the kids instead of helping them.
