The team rolls up into Sedgefield Elementary yet again to conquer another day of service! I don't think the volunteer organizer knew who she was dealing with when she wrote up the todo list because we blasted through 2 days work in less than a day! After that we got to spend time with the kids... what an experience! I am not the biggest children's person and haven't had too much experience working with them so being in a classroom with only one other adult was a little nerve racking. The kids were very entertaining though, and so much fun! Being able to help out in the classroom really gave us a visual as to what Freedom Schools is all about. Not only is this program a free place for children to go while their parents are at work during the summer, but it also has an educational curriculum to keep these growing minds flourishing while out of school. And in a fun way! I definitely wish to do more within this program to develop my skills working with little people!
