tech club visit #1

When I first arrived at Hyalite's after school program, there were students lined up with coats ready to go outside. I was ready to go with them but stayed. next came snack time where I walked around the room helping students if needed and interacted as I felt inclined. One interaction I had with a little boy nearing the end of snack time he was the last to be done and was wanting to lick his bowl out. I told him not to forget his garbage on the table and was consistent in ignoring me. I picked up the garbage and tried to give it to him so I put it in his bowl as he was licking it out and kept repeating to him that it was time to clean up and be done. It was a little challenging for me to know how to respond to kids who just ignore me but I know my responses are not always the best. It is something I need to work on. We also sat with the students for a short reading time and then proceeded to build our own battle ship game boards. I participated in making one which came in handy when a student lost his. My son wanted to challenge me in a game but I tried to get him to play with another student cause he has trouble making new friends. So far I think it went well but maybe something I would try differently is interact more with different students. I want to try to get to know as many kids as I can and as a future teacher that process should start immediately.
