Today went really good for me. Yeah, I feel like I'm pretty strong relationships with the kids went out and they listen and we all hang out, and it's really fun. I just wanted to take a moment to say I'm sorry for not sending in my weekly Reflections last week or yesterday, I've been trying to, but my phone is super broken and sometimes it won't let me press the buttons or even record anything. So I was just going to get a little bit. Frustrated and I stopped doing it last week. Sorry about that. I'm gonna try to stay, um, you know, consistent doing it in every day. I've just been so frustrated with my phone situation. It's super broken. The like screen is like falling off of it in chunks but I'm gonna get a new phone within the month so it won't be a problem anymore. Especially for the upcoming semester but I just wanted to let you guys know Know that I'm just having a bit of technological problems on my ends and like I do have full intention to be updating you guys. I just have been struggling with the at my phone being super broken so trying to get that remedied so I can be more consistent with it but yeah just wanted to give you some clarity on that and hope he can be, you know, understanding, accommodate mean, just for the next like week or so and then I should resolve it, but yeah. Yep, it went great today.

Today went really good, just homework in the beginning and then outside time, and then we brought them back inside because it's really cold. So, yeah, smooth. Just playing with kids, keep in mind, entertained setting up races and whatnot. Yeah, it's really fun.

So they wanted well for me I had a great time hanging out and yeah, Happy Thanksgiving.

Today I want girl. There's a lot less kids because it's just the last two for fall break and so they were out. They had a little award ceremony and then they went home a lot of them so it was just a lot less and that was fun. We could do a little bit more you know work a little more freely because of the less less chaotic number of children so it's great and we you know, hanging out playing on the stage. When some music on they were dancing was great little tool show and we I went outside playing some volleyballs, so today was really good.

Today one. Okay, for me as a teacher, as I said, I did have to take on a very authoritarian role in terms of enforcing that they were doing, they should be in there working and it was just a little trickier today. I feel like sometimes the Wednesdays or the Tuesday's early weeks days are a little bit more energy filled with getting a lot of back talk, but I sorted them out and I made sure everyone who is Being disrespectful. Got written back to their parents. So I think and I've been doing that. I've just got a little, I got a little bit more strict today just because I wanted to make sure that everyone had their homework done before we went outside. So yeah, just having to be a bit more of a strict presence, is what I'm working on. Well, still Having of course, that grounding and kind of figure that they can look up to isn't, you know, I don't to be mean but I do have to learn how to make sure they respect my discipline and not be giving any. Room for them to to get to get a feisty. But yeah, you know today I did talk to multiple children's parents and I think that was good. I just had to get really clear with the what we're doing and what the issue is and I think it's going to start, it's going to be going even more smooth from here. So I will continue to update you on how that goes, but thank you for the feedback. I do appreciate the feedback on. What I'm doing and how I can do better. It is really helpful for Specific instruction on perhaps. Like you know just specific strategies are. There's certain things like that. Obviously, if your classroom is different, it's going to be different. But yeah, I do any feedback or any ideas that are thrown at me. Who will be? Well, welcome to greatly. I will continue to do my part and work on everything in my power, to keep this going smoothly and get all these kids whipped into shape homework done. Done having fun enrichment activities as well. We're working on it. We're figuring out beautiful schedules though. It's only good things from here.

Today, I really tried to enforce that everyone did their homework and I made a point to check, everyone's answers before they left to out to go outside and play just like as a checkpoint. You have to show me your homework. It works but It's been a challenge to get them. To be like on it and just honest with having it or making sure they bring it like, it's it's just been a challenge that we need reinforced support with. We do try to reinforce that there are doing their homework doing during that time, but it's really hard to work with kids individually and then also trying to control the crowd to be all working on homework, you know, like It's just a lot of bouncing back and forth having to adjust having to go talk to this kid and then you know, the one that you were helping with the homework is suddenly out of their chairs. Just like I am working to help the ones that are struggling the most, and I'm trying to create more boundaries and such, but in terms of them, getting the correct answers and us making sure that every answer is correct, it's not necessarily feasible. I do try to work with them and I'm going to check all their homework and just again, like I'm not going to be able to check over the answers like that. We're trying to get them to stay on track and do a good job. And it's just without the tutors there which they're only there on Monday. It's very challenging to give each student support and then, you know, each pairing them up in whatever that can work, but they distract each other. So it's really hard to stay on top of all of them and make sure they're doing the correct. Like how like, you know doing it correctly? Of course I do give my attention to the ones who need them or try to work with them extra help but again it's a challenge just even get them to stay focused. So I I'm going to keep trying today, it did go well like I was able to get more feedback on the homework in terms of like making sure Did it and I'm just gonna have to get more strict. I guess. So that's that. And yeah besides that I mean it took it went really well. It just was me having to be a bit more disciplinarian which was fine

Class went good for me. We got to use some of the crafting supplies I bought from scrap which is cool. All good stuff.

Today was good always helpful to have the tutors there. They had you know more adult presence keeps the group quieter and a little less unruly but of course it was a Monday. So they are feeling very, I don't know rambunctious but it was good day and ended. It started with some homework, everyone's doing homework and then ended it with little bit of crafting inside because it is very cold outside and yep.

Today went really good for me just hanging out with the kids, you know, it's really nice. They like a come in and they get all excited to see me this snowy. They're all yelling, so super fun. I feel like I'm just having the best time hanging out with them and now they definitely respect my authority, a lot better and they trust me and that is very clear. Just in how they their behavior has shifted And it's just so fun. It's super awesome. Had a great time today. Can't wait for the next one tomorrow. Alright.

Today was really good. I went to scrap and bought a bunch of supplies for the kids today. They chose to play with some of the clay that I had brought. Yeah, I had a whole bunch of clay. We had a little craft table, they were doing that. I also brought some stickers and some other fun stuff. So they were all Jazz and we made those stations and they were doing that. Super fun stuff. I was able to get a whole bunch of items from scrap for only like 15 bucks. So, That's definitely what I'm going to be doing. If I can get out there as much as possible, it's really good. Yeah. Resource, you know, to get these kids some supplies. So that's what I'm doing. And yeah, super chill inside time and then we all went outside and as usual as having the kids draw with me, well there was other activities like jump rope or soccer or volleyball going on as well. Super good stuff. Enjoying it every day.

Today went really good for me as the teacher I came in and was just greeted with such enthusiasm. It was so fun for me and working with everyone is just so rewarding, as I've said a million times already but it's just really just hammering it and how awesome it is to be around these kids. Kids and be able to experience their wonder and their joy. And for me, it's just such a good time and a good experience and I genuinely just love hanging out with them, getting to know all of them. Their personalities are like fully out. Now, I feel like they are level of trust with me that they are expressing themselves without holding back and just super awesome to see them be free and and confident in themselves. And just like holding a space for them to be able to express who they are genuinely and with such passion and it's like, very just lights me up. I love it. And I had an awesome day today. Yeah, and happy Friday.

Today one super great, the kids were feeling really excited to like participate in activities today and it was a bit of a longer you know time that we had with them and there was a bit fewer of them as well, which made it just really easy to like manage and actually have activities going on smoothly of course, still chaotic but super fun. We had them doing like a play. We set up this whole place For them, they were doing that. They're performing on the stage and then was like, first we planned out the play performed, it the whole thing, we had people doing the stagehands and all that it was super awesome. And then after that, most of the kids had already left, it was pretty late at that point. And we went outside with the rest of them and played some volleyball and soccer. So it was just a really fantastic. Overall, the kids were, we're really feeling awesome today and just when I got there, they all started screaming. I got Miss Melly, and they all came and hugged me in those like, so fun and I love hanging out with them. And I think for them, it went, it was really fun today. There was only a couple, you know, incidents between friends but we cleared it all up right away. Everyone, at the end of the experience, all the apologies were happening. And everyone was happy and good to go. And yeah, everyone just in such a good receptive. Mood, even when they're little squabbles, came up, like it was just able to pass super easy. I think I've gotten to a point with these kids where I can really talk to them and we can just move through it really, really gracefully. And so it's just awesome to see how today went because it felt super rewarding for all the work I've been. Doing with them.

Today, I want good for me just really enjoy spending time with the kids even when they're a little bit more on the energetic side today, it was a little bit more challenging but not nearly the same level that it was in the beginning because we have build that trust and a level of respect that is definitely getting stronger. So it's very rewarding to just see the shift and See them. Yeah. Becoming a lot more receptive to our Authority, which is great and then it allows us to be less like authoritarian, you know what I mean? Like we can they listen to us so you don't have to put down the Hammer as hard and that's super cool but yeah, it was a little bit loud and chaotic today but ultimately I had a great time.

Today the students were a little bit more energetic. Sorry, I have the hiccups then usual not necessarily than usual but like there were just showing their energy today and we've been, I've been really working, very hard to work with a few of the kids. Specifically, the ones that the parents are voicing that they need help doing the homework. With these kids trying to work on homework with like specific. Kids who definitely need the extra help. Of course at the end of the day, when it's just me and Jessica and there's 30 kids running around. It's a bit hard to give everyone that individual like attention they need when it comes to the homework and I really wish we could provide better support for that. So like on Monday when there were the extra tutors that was super awesome and I think that really brought down the energy level a bit and everyone was just able to get that attention that they need. So the any opportunity for us to have a couple more tutors in the room during that three to four period would be super awesome. But yeah, we're doing it and it's going really good. And yeah, it's very rewarding as usual.

Class went really well. Today, I feel like I'm crying bonds with the students. All of them are so fun to talk to you and unique in their own ways and getting to know them and learning their strengths and how they each individually shine and you know show up in their own cool. Ways is really fun very rewarding work doing around here and they're all super sweet even when they're not and it's it's going awesome.

Today, I went good. It was a longer day it started at 2:30 and so we had the kids working on homework until for we had them all sitting and they were actually doing a really good job listening and getting their work done. It's been increasingly easier to work with them and yeah, today went really swell getting through to some kids who are more challenging to work with and that's really rewarding. Being so I would say it's going great.

Today was good :) Felt energized and like I was being respected.

The kids did great today, better everyday.

Today went great for me. I had a lovely time with the kids. Most of them were listening. I got ya. All of the kids are at home work. We're doing their homework and I had a good time today. Wait for tomorrow.

Today went really good. All of the kids were doing their homework inside or doing quiet activities. Today, we continue to do the seating assignments and I think they even improved from last time. It was a pretty good day. I think the kids are starting to understand the disciplinary consequences that will happen if they aren't working with us, you know, it's going to be a process but it's starting to go into motion, I believe. It's a lot of came and helped kind of lay out, lay down the law in the beginning of the class today. So that was awesome. And then replay went really well. As usual, I just was doing homework and drawing with the kids, well Miss Jessica and Jose were playing doing more sport activities with them. So it went really well and yeah,
