So March 2nd was my first day working at the East Palo Alto Academy. I was with 1st and 2nd graders - not too tough right? Well, the school educates inner city kids who come from less privileged lives. My kids are so mature in that they know more about their environment; they even correctly guessed my age (when I was in 1st grade, I would have said someone who looks like me would be 35 or something).
My 1st & 2nd graders were a tough group - it was easy for them to get off task and become distracted because there is always a sub on Fridays. On Friday, I worked in the kindergarten class with the substitute - whoa, were they a hand full! I guess the class is actually pretty mellow when the teacher is present Monday-Thursday, but when Friday rolls around, they go bonkers! I was to be there as a support staff, and I have no idea how the sub could handle that class ever on her own.
I will keep working at the East Palo Alto Academy twice a week and will keep you updated!
Today my mom and I attended Santa Clara University's "Scholars Day" where we were fed a delicious breakfast and high-class catered lunch on a gorgeous sunny patio. We attended a class on psychology and exercise, met the dean of the College of Arts and Science, had a photo scavenger hunt (really fun!), received a great goodie bag of "SCU" stuff and all around am EXCITED TO BECOME A BRONCO!!!!!!!!
there you have it- a legit decision - SANTA CLARA UNIVERSITY for me!!!!!!
check back soon :)
