On Tuesday we stayed inside most of the day because it was raining. The children had a lot of energy because they didn't go out to the playground because of the rain. Some began to run around inside and things because hectic. We had some kids getting hurt because they were running inside the small classroom. So i decided to distract them by playing a card game. I helped the kids play the game Uno. They don't really know how to play so I tried to teach them and they got the hang of it which made the game fun and exciting! By the time I go back to help out at the preschool, the kids should already know how to play that game.

Tuesday March 18th, was my actual last day of hours, however I're grown fond of the children and I will continue to be going until May or June. When I got there, the children asked if we could play jump rope and so i began to swing the rope. I began to sing the song Cinderella and I didn't the kids had remembered the song but they did. My mentor said they had been singing and jumping all week so they would know it by the time I came to do my hours and they sure did know it. My mentor told me that some of the kids were tripping and so that they wouldn't fall hard she told me to have them go more in the middle of the rope. The kids have the tendency to stay on the side near to where I am turning the rope and they have a chance of falling. I told them that only two kids can jump at a time so no one would be near the ends.

Today I taught the kids how to sing the song Cinderella while they are playing jump rope. Some of the children already knew it so the other ones tried to copy their words and sing along. My mentor advised me to teach them the song first and then to go ahead and jump and sing it. We kept repeating the song over and over again and by the end of the day most of the kids had learned the song. They were pretty excited about it and they wanted to show their parents what they had learned today. So when each of the kids parents came to pick them up, the kids had their turn to show them that they can sing and jump rope. The next time I go I am planning on teaching them the song "Teddy Bear", before we begin to jump rope.
