Extra Volunteering

Yesterday was a good day. I am starting to feel more and more comfortable at work. I know to do something before I am asked to do it and I know almost all of my coworkers' names. I have to say that work yesterday was kind of hackneyed - doing the same program for four different groups of kids. However, I found out from one of the ladies who work there that they hold an art Choog for kids on Wednesday evenings. I asked if I could come back in the evening to help with the art project. They said of course. Actually doing art with the kids is more of what I wanted to do at work - not just setting up and cleaning up like I usually do.

I went to BG's lunch and learn and then went back to work at 4pm. The after-school program was so fun. The atmosphere was pretty chill because there were way less kids than during the day. We made 3-D trees with the four different seasons. Throughout the afternoon I sat with a few different kids and tried to help them think of what to draw. We brainstormed ideas for Spring and Autumn. One kid was so mad because he messed up, but I convinced him to turn it into something else and he was ok with that. I am actually proud of myself because all of this was in Hebrew and I am not a Hebrew speaker! haha. I think I want to go back every Wednesday if I can fit it into my schedule.
