It was a beautiful day today so we played outside until dinnertime. I started out playing with a kindergartener while he was digging in the dirt. After he was through, I went over to the swing set. One of the little girls in my group asked if I could push her on the swing. She and a boy in my group were having a competition to see who could swing the highest. Then I went to the playground with them to play tag. We went inside and had mac and cheese in the cafeteria. I saw another one of my favorite little girls who had been playing in the office while we were outside. I sat with her while she ate and then went home!

This week at SOAR Parson Hills we enjoyed the beautiful weather and spent most of the day outside! I spent most of my time on the basketball court with Natasha drawing with sidewalk chalk. We made drawings and eventually made a 65 square hop scotch. A few other kids joined in and accepted the challenge to complete the hop scotch without falling. Eventually we went inside for dinner and that was the end of my time. Overall it was a very fun week!

It was fun Friday. So at first I walked around to say hi to everyone, then I ended up playing a soccer match with a bunch of the kids. I am slowly starting to learn the chants, sometimes the are hard to hear, but overall another great day at SOAR Jones Center!

Today at SOAR we were split into clubs again. I went to the karaoke club with some of the kids who are normally in my group. We sang songs by Katy Perry, Justin Beiber, and Taylor Swift. After karaoke we went to eat dinner. The kids ate pizza and we talked about if we eat the crust or not. After that we did announcements, and I left. It was so fun, and I love that the kids remember who I am now!

Tuesday, I volunteered from 3 to 5. The students began to eat their snack and we all talked. After their snack, we went outside and played football and soccer. They then were put into clubs, and I was with the kindness club. We all got to know each other and we played bingo. Excited for next week!
