Nora-3/10/10-LINC
Wednesday we made our 4th visit working with LINC. This was the second time we went to the St Jude school on 207th street in Harlem. We had an easier time finding this place, because we had been there before. When we first got there we decided to act like investigative journalists and go around the school for a little bit, while we waited for the program to start. We took pictures of the halls, and we saw some children in classrooms, doing homework wiht their peers. I didn’t think the school seemed very bad. Then we got there we waited for the reading to start, and when it did we joined groups around the room and helped with the reading. There were a couple of kids who didn’t have groups so we were happy to read to them. I was reading to one kid who was drawing when I came over to him. However when I sat down I read him a couple of children books, some of the books I remembered from when I was in kindergarten. We did the same thing as last time. We just read to the children and helped them draw and do some short activities. Even though we did the same thing as last time we were in different groups and it was just as fun. The two kids I was reading to left so I went and joined another group. By the time I joined the next group the reading was over and the program turned into free time. Two fifth grade girls just decided to talk to each other. So I watched/helped the kindergarteners color pictures.
This visit was a lot of fun and I can’t wait to go on the next visit. I really like the topic and organization we chose, all of the visits have been a lot of fun.
