We awoke just like everyday, but today it was an
uncharacteristically brisk February day.
We all filed in and out of the showers, while having eggs, cereal, and
oatmeal for breakfast. We hopped in the cars, eager for another day at
Chahta-Ima. Once we arrived there we received our ID’s and we walked to our
regular classrooms and began our day.
I (Fitgee) began my day with physical education. I played a
modified game of bowling with the kids in my third grade class. After about
hour of PE we returned to the classroom with Ms. Gillari. Ms. Gillari presented
the children in my class with numerous worksheets testing what they learned in
the previous day. With a small amount of
help from me this process went smoothly and the class went off to lunch and
recess. After recess the class returned
and began to focus upon math and social studies. This time around the process did not go as
smoothly. The children needed more help with math than any other subject. It
was quite challenging, but it proved to be very rewarding, when one teaches an
eight-year-old some of the fundamentals of PEMDAS. After the final bell rang I
said my final goodbyes to the students, with plenty of hugs and high-fives and
began 21st Century, the after school program.
I (Aidan) spent all of my day working with the P.E. teacher.
We played an adjusted form of bowling, where they used soccer balls and
beanbags to knock down the pins. I had many breaks today, and I spent my first
one playing basketball in the gym. After the next class, I spent a lot of time
talking with the teacher. He was telling me that he is soon to be married, as
well as the differences between Boston and Louisiana. Next, I went and had the
school lunch, which was surprisingly good. I got to eat with a few fellow
students as well as a lot of little kids. Then our group went to the gym and
played a little more basketball then went out to recess. After lunch, I spent
the rest of the day bowling with the students.
In the multipurpose room!
After we all went and tutored at 21st Century, we
all went to the outdoor basketball courts. Once our game was over, we tried to
go visit a bayou but it closed right before we arrived. So we went home and
started to clean the house, as we leave the North Shore Thursday morning.
