Assessment Visit 6

             Since it was the Valentine’s day, the young children at Claude Chester School had tons of chocolate and cookies for their snack. Also, they were more energetic than before because Jeremy, Kolton, and other Boys and Girls Club staffs were not there. Thus, volunteers, Daniel, and I had to rule the whole situation. I took a piece of paper with a pen and started to control the students. Firstly, we let them finish their snacks and play around a little bit. We then made them do their homework. It was, of course, not easy to make them be quiet and make them concentrate on their homework. They yelled, fought, ran around the tables, and talked with their friends in the study hall time. Hence, I started to write a name on my paper to make them calm down and do their homework. A boy who were very disrespectful and made fun of me because of my race had to write his name on my paper because I told him to. I told him that if he behaves well until after school is finished, I would erase his name. He ran to the book box, picked a book, and started to read it. I erased his name from my paper and showed him; he finally smiled. Furthermore, one girl kept asking me questions about her math homework. I tried to help her out, but she did not listen to me but played with her friends. Finally, I told just told her to read the questions carefully and left her. Some children played with toys and their DS and PSP (portable game machines.) Today was the hardest day I have ever worked at CCS because I had no time to rest.
