Volunteering blog session 1&2

Today I volunteered for 2.5 hours at Easley. For the first half hour, I helped one student with their social studies homework. I had been told since it was Friday most of the kids don't have homework so they tend to play most of the time. For the rest of the time, I played different games with the kids. We played marbles, foose ball, and then we finally went outside. One of the girls said I needed to go outside but that she needed to beat me at foose ball first. So once she did that, we went outside to the playground. A few of the younger girls took a liking to me and one in particular would stand pretty much on top of me as if I was her security blanket or something. I noticed the older kids were really self sufficient and didn't need help from me or anyone else from the center. One of the little girls I was with set up the cones and ran around the perimeter of the playground a few times. After about a half hour outside, we had to go back inside since it was 5. I went back inside and played a few rounds of marbles with one of the girls before I left.
