My experience at stay true has been wonderful.i thought that the kids in the shelter wouldn’t be that smart because i thought with being homeless and all they would miss alot of school.But then mr.saar came up with this idea to have a reading test that would decide what reading level there on,and just about everybody was on grade level or above grade level.this program has really taught me alot about certain things in the world i did’nt know.
When we went to Trevor’s Place we were there for only a short amount off time. When we arrived there everybody was on the computer on pbs.org. The kids enjoyed the website with all the fun games. I sat and watched the kids play games and tried to help them if they didn’t understand them. Before we got there we wrote down the rules, consequences and rewards for the kids, but to are surprise they already put it up. We stayed there for about thirty minutes because they were leaving early. My favorite kid wasn’t there, but in a sense that was good because I got to spend time with the other kids which was really fun. All the kids there are so fun and all of them are precious. I enjoy myself every time I go there and I feel like I made a connection with most of them. I’m excited for Tuesday because we came up with an idea that we will have a chart with all the kids names on it and if they do well they can put a sticker on it and at the end if they have a lot of stickers we may throw a party.
we all are kids inside and out and i think ever kids should feel loved and when we go to Trevor’s Place i try to hlep ever kid and make ever kid feel cared for:)
When we arrived at Trevor’s Place we didn’t have that much time to spend with the few kids that were there. The reason for this is because at school we collected books and put different stickers on them according to what type of reading level it is such as easy or hard. When we went to Trevor’s Place we set up a little library with a bookshelf and put all the books on it. The kids seemed very excited about us coming and bringing books. When I was there I read a few books to this little boy and even though he was distracted by Fernado and Marquis building the bookshelves he still paid attention for the most part. I had a good time because the kids weren’t very hyper today and when we got there basically there wasn’t anybody doing their homework. I had a great time and I really am looking forward to Thursday because I want to see what the kids that weren’t there reaction to all the books that we brought for them to read or for us to read to them.
