Hey y'all! Cristie here again! Just wanted to say that today has been such an eventful day! Jess and I went over to start our Service Learning Project at Century Community Charter School and boy was it a blast! 11 hours went by so quickly! Here's a few pictures of the things we did throughout the day!

What's Happening Now?

Hey there Tumblr!

As far as my service-learning project goes, today was a rewarding day! I got the confirmation from Roseana from Reading Partners @ William Green Elementary School to continue on with our service-learning proposal. This Friday will be our first check-in day; drawing the line between what can and cannot be done with the kids during their tutoring hours. We will begin to start associating with staff and asking whether we can or cannot take pictures with and around the kids, and what exactly they want out of the experience we will be providing them with.

Throughout this process of contacting and finalizing I learned how exactly to communicate directly and follow up with people you want to work with. Especially in the field of education, it is important to let people know exactly what you want to get done and how exactly you'll go about doing so. Roseana was so kind and helpful in this process and I can't wait to work with her soon!

Pictures are on their way!

Today is a day full of researching, contacting and planning. Cristie (myself) is keeping in contact with our org and finalizing all agendas for the future set dates. Jessica is continuing to research her topic.

Let's educate!

Wanna Help?

FYI: Links in the sidebar (hover over)

We are now beginning to put up links to other organizations in which you can volunteer with, and or learn more about in regards to our thesis topics. Hope you find some interest in them and take the time to roam through what they have to offer :)

Let's educate our system!

As of today we are working with a close friend of ours, named Susie, in order to secure a tutoring location at William Green Elementary school, here in Lawndale, CA. Communication is on going, and as of now things are falling into place. We will continue to work on our agendas for now and upload them as soon as possible!
