What I really wnated to do for my WLE was getting the experience to work with little kids like todders and babies at Instituto Familiar De La Raza. What I do there is just watch kids, it's a program called Casa Corazon and we watch kids the people that work there don't consider themselves as baby-sitting they consider themsekves as mentors. What we were going to witn the kids is just do some activities with them. What surprised me was the idea that I would be working with older kids I actually wanted to work with little kids not kids from 6-11 years old I would of prefer working with little kids just because I like working with them the idea of working with older kids is ok just not what I wanted to do. Also that I have to come up with my own lesson plan and actually work an creating a book with them. I'm not too sure if I should do that because I don't know what kinds of different ideas each one of them will have. Another thing that surprised me was that I had to make phone calls telling them that the class will start tomorrow. They also had me going up and down the stairs to go get things from them. Even though i might be a good experience working with tese kids, it just wasn't what I was looking foward to do. I also don't know what to do with the kids because I don't know what to teach them. And also because i am getting a different ages they might like certain things and others may not. Another thing that really surprised me was that when I was in the office there were four other people there and they all left one by one. The frist person left because she didn't feel good. The second person left because it was her lunch break. The thrid person left because she had to go buy a couple of things. And finally the fourth person left because she was done for the day. I didn't know that they would just leave me alone in the office like that. So I just went to lunch becasue I was hungry and they left me alone.
On tuesday when I started to work with the kids I was really happy because at the end I ended up working with the little kids like I wanted to. I was glad that I worked with the little ones because it reall gave me the experience that I wanted, like to know how they act when their mom leaves. Also how kids interact with each other and me as one of their mentors. I was really happy that I get to do my internship on something i really like doing.
