Day #1
Today we did the lesson on lunch buddies which seems very similar to the lessons we have throughout the rest of the week because they cut out a piece of paper and wrote something kind on it. It's something that seems like we will reiterate again and again in the next few days. But Nicole and I decided that we won't switch the lessons too much because there is not much more to change it to because kindness is a very narrow topic. It also seems like the teachers (Nicole, Katie, Olivia and I) seemed to all stand up and talk above the kids, like we're towering over them. I'd like to split the kids up into 4 groups in the next few days so that all of the teachers get to lead and to reduce the students from feeling like they're talking up to us. But, it seems like our lessons revolve more around talking then actual hands on activities, which is why I feel like our lessons are very repetitive because we're only "talking" about kindness. So, I'm going to brainstorm ideas to make our lesson better! But, I was very impressed by Katie and Olivia's lesson because it was very active and involved unique ideas!
