First Day (Jabuary 27, 2014)

   It was my first day off soccer so right away I thought to myself "I should go volunteer!" I got to Sunshine Gardens at 3:00 pm, at first I was really nervous because I did not know what to expect from the children. I got Room 3 with Teacher Ann, most of the kids are around six years old. Ms. Ann is a nice teacher, but I can tell that she has a strong attitude when she gets mad. Since it was 3:30 pm the kids were outside playing, therefore, I stayed outside and played with them. The kids are very lovely, I felt comfortable right away. The girls mostly followed me, but this kid named Kevin kept wanting to play soccer with me since I told him that I play for my school. After, we went inside the classroom. Ms. Ann set up two tables with different stations, one was the "I have a dream…" station which was the one I was placed in, and the other one was "Thank G for the toys…" I thought it was an awesome way to remember Martin Luther King's work, the children were told to copy down the famous phrase "I have a dream that one day…" and then finish the sentence with something that included the community. Many of my kids wrote nice things like "I have a dream that one day everybody receives presents." My table was really productive, they are smart caring kids.
