Bancroft 02/18/2009 =]

Yesterday February 17, 2009 I went to Bancroft and had a BLAST! Of course like every Tuesday when I go there the students are getting ready for Gym Class. Yesterday for Gym we played basketball and went to the weight room! After gym class I had some one on one time with the students. I guess one of the students thought I wasn't paying that much attention to him so he said "Do you not like me!?" I was puzzled! Why would he every think I wasn't fond of him, I felt sad, like I had let him down. I responded "Of course I like you! Why wouldn't I?" And then for the half hour left of class I talked to him and worked on his math skills! One thing that I absolutely loved about their math class was that the teacher had so many unique ways for them to learn. They were going over addition and subtraction and the teacher brought out a ruler with a bunny on it, every time the problem was addition the student and the bunny jumped forward, when the problem was subtraction the bunny and the student jumped backwards! I am not a fan of math whatsoever, but this is a neat technique to get younger students to enjoy math if they do not like it.
