Ok so I went last Wed and this Mon and just now posted for Wed, so time to post for Mon as well. (Because of Spring Breaks and other conflicts, it became clear that going both Wed and some Mondays was the best answer)
I got to Next Step pretty early on Mon because something amazing happened- the shuttle came 5 mins after I went out to wait for it, and the bus came only a minute or two after the shuttle got to Tenley. It took 35 mins flat to get from AU to Next Step. That will probably never happen again, lol.
I got there and Micah informed me that they have a "community meeting" on Mon mornings, so I got to watch that. It was mostly just announcements, but I thought it was pretty kewl that everything was in Spanish and English; a sentence was spoken in English, and then the same sentence was translated, or vice versa. I also met a student from Howard U originally from North Carolina who is a Psychology major and Spanish minor also volunteering. She worked with me in the math room for the first period.
Math was more of the same- just problem solving and doing most of it in Spanish (which I still find really fun) But English class was awesome. The teacher set me up with half of the class to read and go over a chapter that we were reading- basically giving me co-teacher status. And one of the students called me "miss" like they do to their teacher. It was pretty kewl.
Though I did have a few problems with some kids- the boys didn't want to read and one boy had his coat on him like a blanket and just wanted to sleep- the girls were really inspiring and all in all, it was a really good day.
