7th day of Park and Rec

I showed up early enough for the kid's snack time today. It gets messy since there's a lot of students. Today I was able to help a lot of the kids with their homework. I helped Adam and Marley with their Math and English. They seem to have a some trouble with multiplication. I had to constantly explain how to easily multiply two digit numbers. After homework time I gave advice to the kids about how important school is and how you shouldn't hesitate to tell on someone if they're bullying someone. I also told them how you can save someone's life by telling on someone. After that I played one on one with Adam and best him 5 to 1. Then all the students played dodgeball and they get really competitive. I was a bodyguard for one of the kids because she wasn't finished with her homework. Then we went to the computer room and I just threw the football around with this kid named Marquez.

6th day of Park and Rec

I feel bad because I never arrive during homework time for the kids anymore, so I can never help them with their math. They always depend on me to figure out their math problems, but sometimes I just can't figure it out. Especially Bella and Marquez, but it seems like Maquez is just lazy to do his own work so I don't help him ask much as I used to. Anyway, the kids had the choice to stay downstairs or go upstairs to the playground today since it was really cold. I stayed downstairs and played a basketball game called "HORSE" with Gabriel and Adam. Gabriel thinks he can beat me and Adam thinks he can beat Gabriel, but not me. But of course, I won because I'm too good at basketball. I also played this game with the kids that took me a while to get. You have to get in a big circle with no space between you and the people next to you and you're supposed to spread your feet so the ball can go through your legs. The objective is to make sure the ball doesn't go through your legs by blocking it with your hands, kind of like reverse Hungry Hungry Hippos. It was fun, but killed my back. Instead of going inside the computer lab I just stayed outside with the Rec leaders and talked with them until it was time to leave.

Peer Edit Draft Review

The student that corrected my paper said a lot of good things about it, but of course, there are some stuff I have to fix. They said that I need to remove the space between my name and page number on my header. They also said that they lost interest at the end of the second body paragraph of my essay. I plan on working on these specific things for my next draft and also work on fixing my sources because turnitin stated that I did them wrong. I'm going to ask my friend to revise my essay because she's currently in college and should be able to give me better feedback. Honestly, I put in about a week's worth of effort on this essay which was a mistake because I felt really rushed on trying to finish it. I ended up working on it until the day it was due and stayed up late trying to complete it. I've learned my lesson, though, I'm going to revise my essay today and try to perfect it before my teacher reads it.

4th-5th day of Park and Rec

I wasn't that productive today. I came later than usual so I wasn't able to help the kids during homework time. I forgot a lot of their names since we all just got back from winter break, but I remember some of them. I'm going to ask my mentor if I can take pictures of the kids for my presentation.
