Mentor: Days 6 - 9

I am now more than halfway done with my mentor hours. I've done 18 hours: 4 hours last week and 4 hours this week. I have not missed a single day of volunteering. These past two weeks had been pretty much the same, since the routine is the same every time I go there. Today, however, I did not have to help the children with homework because they did not have any, since they do not have school tomorrow. What they did today during their usual "homework time" was prepare for their upcoming multiplication table test, which looked fun for them.

Mentor: Day 4 and 5

I went to CLC on Tuesday and Thursday last week, as usual. I did a total of 4 hours, so that adds up to 10 mentor hours. It has been pretty much the same on Tuesday. I helped the children with their homework and get to know them little by little. I find working with these children really fun. They can be a little too goofy sometimes, but they are nice kids. Thursday was a little bit different, since it was Valentine's Day. When I got there, they were already preparing to watch a movie. I don't think they did any homework that day. All they did after watching the movie was exchange presents.

Mentor Blog - Day 3

Today was my third day at Community Learning Center. I'm starting to get used to it, and I'm getting to know the children more. I sometimes play with them during "playground" time, but I missed it today because they did that first, in case it rained later. The only thing that I ended up doing was help them with their homework and got to know some of them a little bit. Today adds up to a total of 6 mentor hours so far, since I did 2 hours, like always.

Mentor/Volunteer

Yesterday was my second day for volunteering at Community Learning Center. I spent 2 hours, which would be a total of 4 mentor hours so far. My next volunteer day will be on Thursday. I go there on Tuesdays and Thursdays for at least 2 hours.

First Mentor Hours

When I found a mentor at Community Learning Center, the only thing left that they needed were my fingerprints. They told me that I could start my volunteer hours as soon as they got them. My first day was the Thursday that just passed. I did not have to do much since I was new. All I did was observe, got to know some of the children that I was going to tutor, and tried to see what it was going to be like. I've spent 2 mentor hours so far.
