Sunny Day and Bubbles (April 7, 2014)

Today was a sunny day, it was the perfect weather to blow bubbles and run around. I arrived during my students playtime. I was very happy to see them since I wasn't able to volunteer last week. I could tell that they were also happy to see me, they're smiles and hugs is what I enjoy seeing. We played for about twenty minutes, we blew bubbles and attempted to play with the jump rope. Later, we went inside the classroom and worked on homework. I sat in table 2, as usual, with about five kids. One student, Jonas, finished very quickly and got to play games right after. I was having trouble with one student because he is very friendly and loves chit chat a lot so the other students tend to get distracted. It took about forty minutes or less for all my students to finish. I learned that my "friendly" student works better when he's alone. I am slowly learning to have a lot of patience with students that tend to get distracted easily and don't do what they're supposed to. I see that Ms. Ann, my mentor, tries to talk to the student first, then she explains what they are doing and what they're actually supposed to be doing. First, I told him that he was distracting other kids and talking too much. Then, I told him that he should be doing work because his mom was going to pick him up pretty soon and it was better for him to finish it at school than at home. He decided to cooperate and do finish all his homework. For the remaining time, we played board games. Today was a good day, very sunny and pretty.
