I love this job. Plain and simple, right out
of the gate.
I was a little leery about it at first being that it was an
education-based position. I love kids, I have worked with kids most of my life,
but educating/forming young minds can be a little intimidating.
The last few
months I have been a part of multiple lessons.
My favorites being 1st Grade
with Snowflakes and 2nd Grade with Animal Tracks. Seeing these
kids learn something new or find a new favorite animal makes this work all the
more worth it. In this position, I have learned more and more about where my
strengths are in education.
With snowflakes, we teach kids how to cut
snowflakes out of hexagons. Working on shapes, counting and teamwork.
Animal
Tracks works with deduction and kinesthetic learning.
Being there to work with
these kids and help solidify these principles in their education really makes
the entire process worth it.
I look forward to continuing to serve as an
AmeriCorps member and continue learning the skills I have and will use in the
future.
Cheers;
BayLee Kirkendoll
