After school today, I went to spend time at the place where I'm gonna work this summer just to get a feel for it and if it was really what I wanted to do. I spent 3 hours in the classroom that I would be assigned to and I met the girl who I would be paired with. She was and has already been working there for a while now with another girl who's leaving on Friday. They're both seniors at PV and they were amazingly nice. I liked them both a lot, Christina and Nicole. Christina's the one I will be working with over the summer and she seems like a great person already.
Really unique and down to earth. And she was great with the kids. I could really learn a lot from her and when I start, she'd walk me through all of the basics. That's really what the both of them did for me today. I met all the kids, who were adorable but also a little rowdy, and they were just great to be around. They were mostly 2 and 3 year olds and just balls of energy; and tears. My goodness. All the little things that toddlers cry for, it was insane. He pushed her, she dropped this, he had that...it was almost ridiculous. But the little hissy fits lasted for only about 2 minutes max and then they were fine.
I'm really looking forward to it though. By the end of the afternoon, most of the kids had taken a liking to me already, I was surprised. I came when they were in the middle of snack time. Then, Christina and Nicole took the kids to the bathroom and then they played for a while. After that, it was clean-up time and then they watched a movie. Teletubbies of course, but about 15 minutes through, we got a little sick of it and switched that with The Land Before Time. So we watched that with the kids while waiting for their parents to come, one after the other, and pick them up. It was so cute, while were were watching the movie, one of the little girls, Ava, came up to me and sat on my lap. She was so adorable.
I think I'm going to like this...=D
