Yesterday was Tuesday and I went to Bancroft. The normal routine happened, I got there, the students were eating lunch in the classroom and then I walked them to gym with the teachers. We played a really fun game in Gym Class and my team, the green team, won! After Gym class was over we went back to the classroom and worked on Mathematics and Individualized work. One of the students, who can't talk too well, absolutely surprised me yesterday when she was working with one of the teachers. She knew ALL 10 of the presidents that the teacher showed her, she's a HUGE Barack Obama fan haha, everytime the teacher said Barack Obama, she would pick up the picture and rub it all over her body haha! She even learned about 3 new women to add to her collection. One of them being Rosa Parks. The only women I knew of was Rosa Parks, but this student knew the other two women also and I've never even heard of them! Hearing the student say the names of these two women put a huge smile on my face and I'm glad I was there to witness such a wonderful time during my experience.
