Cinco de Mayo (May 5,2014)

Today was a really busy day! First I arrived during outdoor playtime. We played four-square and then volleyball for about an hour. It was a nice day to be outside because it was not too hot or too cold, it was the perfect weather. While we were playing, one of my students wasn't letting other students join us. She stopped the game right after another student joined the game, she began to get really upset. The other kids were yelling at that certain student to hurry up and play, then they began to get bothered. I had to talk to that student and explain what she was doing was unfair. After talking to her, she decided to leave and play something else with her friend. I learned to communicate in order to resolve a conflict.
During homework time, I was in charge of Table 2. I had five students, all working on their packet. Like usual, two of them finished quickly while the other ones didn't. The students that took longer to complete their homework were the same ones as the previous days. At one point, one boy was so loud that he distracted everyone from doing their homework. I had to talk to him a bunch of times, I repeated myself but he didn't understand. I told him that he was not only distracting himself but those around him. Besides him, the other two students did take their time but they actually finished all their homework.
After, we celebrated "Cinco de Mayo" by making quesadillas with beans. The students were in charge of making their own hand-made tortilla. We, adults, made the flour and beans. They had make a small ball and place it on the flattener. They were so happy and excited to eat what they made. Some even ate extra beans! I think they were hungry... For the remaining time, we played board games.
