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…

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

1183 Words | 5 Pages

Sometimes, when a kid is misbehaving or upset, and I am clueless, I find myself feeling helpless, and relying on Miss. Giannotti to resolve the situation. I understand that it is a part of her role to demonstrate to me how to take care of a situation and it is her duty as a teacher to fix things as quickly and efficiently as possible, but I wish I could do more to help at those times.

Service Learning Project Observation

As the sun moved out of the clouds, I anxiously waited in the car and frantically refreshed the group chat in search of a message about the arrival of the other group members. Due to this initial anxiousness, it seems that I was afraid of or uncomfortable entering into the center on my own. With less than fifteen minutes left until the project began, the group members failed to announce their arrival, which further enhanced my anxiety. Just as I began to feel alone and mentally prepare myself for the worst, one of the members approached my car. During this entire semester, my group, Team H, planned and eventually executed a service learning project in Greater Lafayette at the Hanna Community Center with diverse, elementary-aged children.
