Throughout this last quarter, I have been completing my required community service hours at Green Oaks Elementary School. I decided to take the community service class offered at Casa Roble High School instead of completing the required 60 hours on my own time. I have been working hands on with students on campus. Most of my time is spent assisting Mrs. Myers and Mrs. Surratt’s kindergarten classes. Even though working with children this young may be difficult, I have learned many important things myself. Working at Green Oaks Elementary, you are placed into a certain job, like a Yard Duty, a teacher’s assistant, or a custodian's assistant. I was placed as a teacher’s assistant in the P.M. Kindergarten class, where I work for Mrs. Myers. With this job I got to work one-on-one with students and help with their development. Throughout this term I have been working with a boy who needs extra help and assistance in class. Also, while I am in the classroom I often sit at the …show more content…

While working at Green Oaks I have gained the fulfillment of working with young children and contributing to my community. A high of my community service would be the bond I have formed with the children I work with. Everyday when I walk in I am greeted with smiling faces and excited students. I believed that working in this classroom would be a greater challenge than it has been. I did not believe that I would be able to adapt to this environment as quickly as I did. Even though I was new to this school, and to working with young children I learned how to act around them. However, the hardest part of working at Green Oaks is discipling the students and telling them that they need to completely redo a project or rewrite their sentences. I gained patience over the last term, and I have never been a very patient person. However, I have learned the importance of having

The argument that the Pleasantville School should require students to complete 40 hours of community service prior to graduation is built on some weak assumptions that fail to support the point and convince the reader. and it also misses some major points in discussing the issue in hand. First , the argument mentions that the number of teenage volunteers has declined, but it doesn`t investigate the reasons that made teenagers refuse the community services. it would be better for the writer to tell us what caused the problem in order to know what would the best solution to it be.

Throughout my time, so far, working with Miss. Giannotti’s class at the elementary school, I have been given a wide range of jobs and responsibilities. I’ve been given tasks that range anywhere from interacting with the children, such as leading in games and reading stories, to things that are inherently teacher-like responsibilities, such as making copies and creating a bulletin board. Of the things I’ve done in the time I’ve been with my class so far, many of them I’ve enjoyed, even, to my surprise, the seemingly mundane jobs. I love interacting with the kids. One of my favorite, and most common, jobs is to sit at a yellow table in the corner and help the students as they come to me with questions.

During the 2016 fall semester, I completed my community service hours working in two different cultural and educational events. The annual events of La Feria de Educación and La Bienvenida helped me complete most of the hours I was assigned. The services I performed during those events were beneficial to me in several ways due to many reasons. The events of La Bienvenida and La Fiera de Educacion not only contributed some form of work experience, it potentially helped me network and gain community service experience. La Bienvenida has very specific goals, which are to welcome the new students to Fresno State, introduce them to the many programs offered by the campus, and to celebrate Mexican Independence day and Hispanic Heritage Month.

During my experience I worked with children ages three and four. I was not used to working with young kids, but with the help of the teacher and her aid, I was taught how to help the students. During this program, I learned how each student has their own routine as well as their own process of learning. At first, it was difficult for me because it was one of my first experiences volunteering in a school, but with persistence, I adjusted to the classroom environment. As time went the student came to me for help as much as they went to the classroom teacher

It 's a hot a sunny day and also the first day of high school for 14 year old Audrey Wells.

For one week every summer, the senior high youth at St. Michael’s Lutheran Church in Roseville drop everything to venture somewhere in the United States on a service learning trip. Since I happen to attend that church, and I just so happen to be a senior high youth, I have joined these trips for three years running. Usually, we help out in soup kitchens, do some yard work, or visit homeless shelters. However, our trip during the summer of my junior year was destined to be different from the very beginning.
