Week # 5

I think the biggest difference for me is just being comfortable with the routine. The first few weeks it was hard to know where to jump in. It's also easier knowing the kids. Knowing what works for them and what doesn't. Knowing what they like and don't like. I think our group is getting to know each other better and getting more comfortable every week. We have been working with the kids on interacting with each other more. It's so fun to watch them come out of their shells and learn new things. I also love that we're all getting more comfortable helping each other and suggesting activities. I think at first everyone was kind of hesitant to give their opinion but now we help each other to improve. I think we have a pretty good system going. I am looking forward to learning more from Ashley, who comes up with many of our lesson plans. She has so many good ideas of how to adapt the activities and I am learning a lot from her.
