Lets see I didn’t go to the daycare last week because I was getting ready to go home for break. – Break was wonderful I had a great Thanksgiving with my wonderful family! - So about two weeks ago when I was at the daycare was the week where there was the tornado watches. The daycare had that planned out very well. When the sirens went off the kids were having snack time. The teachers got the children to quietly line up at the door. Also, they brought the “Field Trip Bag” which is just a backpack with some activities and some things that might be needed in an emergency. All of the kids were very good they sat against a wall while they were read stories. When it was time to go back in the room it was a false alarm and we headed back into the hallway. Since the kids were missing snack time they were each given some crackers and water. This time we colored pictures and sang songs while we waited. By the time the warning was over it was time for the parents to pick up the children.
I just got done with my hours for this week. They had some great activities up in the room, one of them being a cardboard house that the kids got to help decorate using strips of cardboard. They also had many other play tools that they could use in the play construction site.
It was snowing a lot and many of the kids spent time just watching the snow fall on to the playground outside.
I am all finished with my hours now and Monday will probably be my last day at least for this semester. Also, this is my tenth and probably last blog.
Hope that everyone’s service hours are going well and almost finished up!
