Working on Presentation

Tomorrow, I will rehearse my presentation, stating all the key points that need to be said, the mission, my experience working at the adoption center, as well as an excerpt of a video which explains what the Kinship Center is about. I will spare some time for questions afterwards.

About Today

For service learning today, Mrs. Shank attended my visit to the Kinship Center to watch me at work on the developmental screening results (results of how a child is developing) of one of the adopted children (whose name I will not say for identity reasons). She got to meet my godmother, who is the regional executive director of kinship center. They mostly likely talked about my work there and how it's for service learning (I am not exactly sure what they talked about, since I was working on the developmental screen results at the time). After, I finished working on the file, Tyler De Leon, the child assessment specialist who I accompanied to visit the adopted child's house in January, invited me to have lunch at Wahoo's and grab a frappachino at Starbuck's with two interns, since it was their break.    

Service Learning Day Tomorrow

Tomorrow is my next service learning day. I am going to work on site, but I am not exactly sure what I will be doing until I make it there tomorrow morning.

Learned more about Kinship Center

So today I learned more about what Kinship Center does. I learned about questionaires that they use for the kids to take to see if they how developed they are in certain areas, such as fine and gross motor skills and such. I even got to meet more people who work there and what their jobs are. One of the tasks I worked on was to print out the pictures I thought were best for the brochure for a camp that the organization hosts.

Last Night was fun

Went into a room with a group of adopted children watching "Despicable Me". We mostly played Jenga and Uno, and the kids had a lot of fun (and so did I)!

Working (Playing) with group of Kids

Tonight, I will be going to the Kinship Center to basically play with a group of kids. We will have some games for them to play and we will make sure that the kids have fun, but not rough house. I will be sure to take pictures.
