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.

Assessment #4

When we got to the boys and girls club they were playing a game where there is a ball in the center of the room and you have to grab it and bring it back to your side before the other person tags you. This game should me that the kids are becoming a lot more welcoming of us. At some points when I was running with the ball my teamates would cheer me on yelling my name. This surpried me because last time we met they mainly called us "him or that guy". This made me feal that we were getting to know each other a lot better. When the homework started I helped the same cross eyed girl I helped last time. She needed to read a passege with a partner. seeing as she was very young she needed help with alot of the words. I think this visit imrpoved our relenship with each other greater.

Assessment #3

Today we visited the boys and girls club for the third time. We got there early so we played a game of octopus with the kids. When the homework time started I helped a small girl who was cross eyed with her english homework. She had to write words in future and past tence. Then she had to read through a paragraph and find mistakes. For example if the word "Then" was spelled wrong she would have to circle it. The kids there are becoming a lot less shy and are asking us for help more often. I am now starting to have much more fun going to the boys and girls club.

Assesment #2

Today was my 2nd day at the Boys and Girls club. This time Marcus happend to be at the same school as us. The gym were we were previously was being taken by a meeting. We were located in the libary instead. For the first 20 minutes We helped a little girl with a crossword puzzel whitch surrprisingly was very difficult. After helping the rest of the chlidren we drew chrismas pictures with them for about 20 minutes. I felt better then I did after the last visit because I helped more kids and also got to know them better. I helped a little boy with his math homework, helped a girl with her soduku puzzel and much more. I am so exited for the next visit i had lots of fun helping these kids.

Assesment #1

Today was I first day we visited The Boys and Girls Club. We arrived early before the kids started their homework so we participated in a game of dodgeball. Then the club went into power hour, where are the kids do their homework without talking. I helped some of the kids with their math homework. one child did not want to do his homework so quinlan and I had to convince him to do it. I felt very good when visiting this boys and girls club. I rememeber times when i was young and I needed help with homework. I was always disipointed and fustriated when I was stuck on a problem. I also felt good when I was able to help the kids have fun and play dodge ball. This was a great experience and i cant wait for the next.
