Homework Center Day 2

Today was day two of my service learning. We arrived at Madison View Apartments at six o' clock again. We were down one tutor today, and had even more kids show up. I thought that the rain would deter some of the kids from coming, but I was wrong. I helped a boy named Carlos with his spelling homework, and I played games like hangman and Dr. Suess. One of my fellow tutors made the children some paper hats, airplanes, and even paper ninja stars. The ninja stars were a big hit. But, mostly the younger kids didn't have much if any homework to do so we just played games with them. I had fun interacting with the little kids, although one in particular was a handful. But, all in all I really enjoy helping kids out with their homework and just playing around with them.

Homework Center

Today was the first day of my service learning. We arived at the apartment complex where we help kids with their homework at 6:00. Some of the kids were playing outside; jumping rope and riding their bikes, but they were excited to see our tutoring crew of seven. To our suprise, most of the kids didn't have a lot of homework, so we helped the ones that did and let the others keep playing. I helped a young man with his math and spelling homework. I was amazed at how advanced their curiculum was compared to when I was in school. It had been a while for me since I did graphing and functions. After they finished their homework, we all played games. Some of the kids drew pictures for us, and I played memory with two little ones. All in all, I thought it was a great experience. It turned out better than I thought it would. We went back to school at 8:00.
