Day 2

 Day 2: Day 2: My second day of senior project was full of learning moments and certainly a great amount of teaching. I woke up at my Gramps house and ate some breakfast. I headed to school with my dear friend Annabelle and arrived a little before 10 to start my day with Culture and Conflict. Being a student in Culture and Conflict for the entirety of this year, I found it quite difficult to flip to the other side and be more of a teacher figure to my previous classmates. I don’t think that was the strongest part of my day as I had to debrief with Elibet and Mel after. Elibet and I ate lunch together and talked more about what I needed to accomplish with the freshman.  I made a comeback when I taught the freshman in G and F block. I began each class with an activity that was a “get to know me” type of game so I could understand more about the students and also master their names. I provided feedback on their personal narratives in both classes with multiple students and helped them with a grammar program that they all have daily assignments for. I departed from class feeling good and went to my JV lax game. I proceeded to eat dinner after with Nora and watch the varsity lacrosse game. To end my night, I graded some papers while I sat around a fire.

Hours today: 5 hours

Day 9

Day 9: Good evening everyone. Day 9 done and gone, and here I am finally home after Elibet's extra help. I had a solid sleep and woke up around 7:30. I got up and ate some breakfast and headed to school with Annabelle. We rocked to some Bob Marley and just straight up vibed. I immediately headed to Culture and Conflict to watch Colin Shavers concentration presentation and he killed it. It was so informative and actually super inspiring! I then went to G block intro to lit. They worked on their art pieces and I attempted again to give some ideas. A couple of them got some pretty creative ones! It was mostly a work period and then Elibet and I cleaned up and hitched it to lunch. Game was cancelled today so we instead practiced and then I watched games around campus. I helped out at dish duty and then went to my typical 7:30 to 9:30 Wednesday night extra help at Elibet's. I barged in to her apartment and Justin was clearly pondering some math on the couch but wasn't shocked by...

Day 8

 Day 8: 8th day woot woot! Time flies man. I woke up shockingly early this Tuesday morning with the thought of bluebird in my mind. I had to get their early and get a nice muffin. Gramps still made me some eggs and bacon though, he's the goat. Enough about food, I went to advisory and then went to Culture and Conflict to watch sweet Nora present her concentration presentation. She absolutely slayed that. Next I headed to lunch and then spent my afternoon with the freshman. G block they took a test and I wandered around the classroom glancing at their computers to again, make sure they didn't cheat. As you can see in the photo, Patrick Moore took the "open note" test quite literally with his library of notes. Following G block was F block and they had a work period on their art for the capstone project they are working on. I gave a few kids my feedback on their ideas and helped sprout some more ideas. I headed for a run with Anna and Olivia afterwards and then did a ni...

Day 4

Day 4:  On this nice sunny Thursday, I completed a plethora of things. I woke up on the earlier side to get to New London so I could grab myself breakfast before attending class at 10:15. The freshman had a test on the 57 bus so I walked around behind their computers to make sure they couldn’t cheat for a solid hour. Elibet and I stayed after and went over some curriculum details, just teacher things. Afterwards, I went to the dining hall to grab something for lunch and continued to grade papers outside on one of the tables with Katherine. I did that for a little bit over an hour and then went on a 3 mile run on the rail trail. I came back and played kickball as well as dipped my feet in Blackwater with my killer lax team. Sidenote: my kickball team won 7-1 and we had some pretty sick catches in the outfield by some savage freshman who I gladly picked first and second during the draft teams. They slayed. After the kickball and the river fun, I went to elbow to go for a quick swim w...
