Full Days Out is what my job calls a day where the children are out of school but the club goes on all day. We had three of those this past week and I am glad we did. I got to know some of the of my children better because I was someone they could talk to. Their best friends or teachers weren't there. I got a lot of drawings too that week.
I will write about how the days went. During those three days, there were two schools together in one school building but my school had to be the one that moved to another school. It wasn't bad but it was hard. We didn't have the supplies that we needed or could use because we could only the main things like the walkie talkies and baskets to put their backpacks in. We need bring some art to do but it was just paper of stencils for those 3 days. We also brought some toy buckets but we couldn't change them out everyday like we could have at our own spot. We had to be moved out of our own school because the AC was getting fixed over the break. That was what it was a Fall break for the students and teachers. We only had 3 places we could use and that was in the gym, cafe, and outside. They did have a pretty decent sized playground though and a lot of things to do on it.
I will write out a couple of my memorable moments here. The first memorable moment was when one of my little boys found out that I like and am able to shoot baskets. We talked about how I use to play it with my little brother. He also told me why some of the other boys in the group didn't like me. He also told me that they thought the way I talked was funny. After all of that, though, he told me I was a great teacher. He even made me a Halloween card to take home with me saying that on it.
The second memorable was when I was talking to a girl of mine with another teacher. I was also sitting with her and drawing with her while talking. She really opened up to me. She talked about her mom and the cancer that she has along with her grandma. The day I was talking to her her grandma was having surgery done. You could tell that it was bothering her that day. She was very emotional off and on that day. I asked her "You know I am here if you need to talk." She said, "Yes". She also drew me a picture of me as a bear.
To me, I got to know the kids more and I liked that part about it. I got to play and draw with them. I got to talk with them and they had to talk to me. Some of their friends weren't there so they had nowhere else to turn but a teacher. I don't know if I could do a full week just yet because I was bored by the last day last week and that "break" was only three days. I also got two other drawings just because from two other girls on the last day of break.

I loved those 3 full days because I felt like I got to know the children better and understand them better too. I feel like we can have fun now and I can joke around with them to make their day. I have been doing that a lot this week so far.
