PCYCDay 3

It’s too bad that the kids have to be in school for such a long time. I remember getting fidgety waiting for 3 o'clock to roll around for so I could home, or at least to go play. I can't imagine having to stay at school for another two hours doing more work. The kids that I work with get bored of the math games quickly and they already dislike doing math anyway. There has to other types of games that will get the kids to be more interactive and to have more fun while still learning. Like some type of game that will get them to run around and get rid of some of their bottled up energy because I can tell that they get fidgety also. I wonder if the projects that we made last semester for PYC are being used. My group made a game for helping kids to read and spell. I think some of the other groups did games for helping with math skills. I might ask if we can play some of those games next time I go.

PCYC Day 2

Getting to PCYC was very difficult today because my bus broke down so I was 15 minutes late!

The day went well. I like hearing the kids read to me because it brings back memories of when I first started reading. It’s hard sometimes helping them sound out words because they don't want to try to read the word by themselves. I think they pick out easier books to read so they won't have to try to read long words.

Teachers must have so much patience to be able to teach kids how to read. It's really important that kids learn how to read well. I had to read a book once a month and by doing this at home, it helped me comprehend a lot more things and I learned a lot from the books I read
