Today was our first official day at GCP! After some brief observation, we got straight to it with completing tasks on our master list. I had the privilege of grading sixth grade math....which I thought would go rather smooth, until I found out the teacher forgot his key. Me and Grace spent literally two hours doing order of operations, percentages, adding fractions, etc. It's pretty impressive math for sixth graders, if you ask me. I also had the chance of tutoring a student in ninth grade algebra, and I found that to be very rewarding. As a Special Education major, today gave me a better idea of what I would be best at as an educator, which is working one-on-one with a student.
On top of working at Kipp, it is also great getting to know the other trip members. We bonded over fifth grade book reports and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. However, being introverted I often found myself being socially exhausted, but NO WORRIES--I am still having the time of my life. Tomorrow, Ali and I will be cooking spaghetti for dinner....get ready for taste of Little Italy.
Ciao...for now,
Idara <3
