In the beginning of January, I went to THINK Together's Headquarters in West Covina. THINK Together is a free after-school program with a mission to "create opportunities for kids to discover their passions and reach their full potential." I attended an orientation conducted by Joseph Cabral, Manager of volunteers, and had to fill out some paperwork in order to mentor with them. The pictures below were taken by me after I completed orientation. The picture on the left is of the logo that hung in the entrance of the building and the picture on the right is my volunteer/mentorship handbook.
This month I've visited my local public library far more than usual. Why? For RESEARCH. My independent component is composed of additional mentorship hours and a first grade reading/writing unit. I completed most of the lessons for my unit but needed more information as to how it all connects and relates to my EQ. Below are two books that have immensely given me insight on my topic and more specifically, child development. My weekly craft this week looks more like a writing assignment, but, a memorable one. It's a fun fill-in personal reflection sheet on things we've loved and enjoyed the past year. This craft can be found on the bottom right column in my senior blog.
I found a quote that not only fit the month of January, but for the new Year! It's a bit too sophisticated and complex for younger children but the quote is poetic and fitting for new beginnings.
"For last year's words belong to last year's language and next year's words await another voice." - T.S. Elliot
