Friday was Pie in the Face at school. Camille and I decided to volunteer to get pied. We were all lined up with a few other teachers and the students' names were picked out of a hat to determine who can pie a teacher in the face. Two little girls pied me in the face, then a teacher came by with a can of whipped cream to spray on all of us. It was amazing to see the excitement in the children's eyes and to see how happy they were to be able to participate in something like that.
Overall, I had a pretty good day with the kids and I could definitely see the difference with one of the boys I'm working with. At the beginning of the three weeks, he would not take orders from me well but as the week went by and I worked more closely with him, I could see how he got more comfortable with me. I can tell that he knows I am there to help him and not to order him around. Now, when I ask him to do something he listens and does exactly what I ask of him. I feel that trust between us and he knows my intentions which has made this so much easier to work with him.
For the past couple days I have been helping out with 2nd grade because that teacher is always yelling at the kids or is always sending the kids out into another classroom. I could feel her frustration so I know the kids can feel it too! It does get hard though.
In the evening, after school, we went over to the Fisher's home. They catered dinner for us and we just hung out there for a few hours. They were very welcoming and thankful for what we are doing.
