sum of all the time for WLE

i would have had 70hr but i dont know about one of the days when their school was out on break when we were. so here is the total amount.


66 hours 
10 minutes

Sadly...... Last Day of WLE

Time: 7:50am - 2:20pm
Total:  6 hours 30 minutes 
Location: if you have been reading my blogs you should know by now but i'll tell you one final time Claire Lilienthal Middle school

You know when people say that the ending is never a dull moment well for one thing that my friend is a lie... and not in a bad way. it was dull because it ended and also pretty much all i did was organizing the money into one of those papers where you put $10.00 worth of quarters in one of those circular paper tube things for most of the day while the students where playing the Nintendo Wii and watching a movie. Ms. Haldey gave me a bag with lots of change and after i finished with that huge pile Ms. Hadley gave me her piggy bank with a lot more where that came from...... "can i smash it?" i asked Ms. Hadley and she said no and turned it upside down and opened it by twisting the lock and pored it all over my piles of quarters that i had just put together. great... more work.... after finishing the pile that Hadley gave me ( by the way the bank wasn't even 10% empty, and it could easily cover the entire table) i picked up the piggy and tryed to pore some onto the tabled to continue and clumsy me i spilt some on the ground while Ms. Hadley was righ next to me and i didn't want to turn around to look at her face cause i know i was about to face the wrath of her some i picked them up with the help of a very kind student... yeah ONE student out of like thirty. I knew i felt a bad bad vibe with her so i still never looked at her after a while. After about half the day i counted all the way up to $120.00. After counting all that money Ms. Hadley treated me to a final lunch. I had a burger while my mentor had a giant Waffle... interesting for a lunch food. anyway after eating the lunch i had the longest  quick errand trip anyone can ever had. After counting the money after Ms. Haldey and i ate i had to walk to wells fargo bank to deposit them and Claire Lilienthal Middle school is at Divisadero and the Bank was down at Fillmore where the Marina school is located at. After depositing the money I got different slips for the nickels and dimes but not the pennies..... thank god not the pennies. But with out the pennies it still took the rest of the day... Great, counting... fun... Anyway after school i got to meet her mother and cousin with the dog. yey! finally the day had to end sadly. i had a lot of fun with this WLE experience. gave her a hug and Candy at the office as well. 

We didn't get to do the project... well sort of but i need to schedule another time hopefully before their school is out and i finish my graduation portfolio to do a tournament for tennis.

day 9

time: 7:45am - 2:00pm
total: 6hours 15min
location: Clair Lillienthal Middle school

So coming that week wasn't that great for my mentor because that school had standerdized testing. So for the beginning of the day i set up the tennis courts for when the kids have P.E  after the first and second subjects to finish one set of their test. After setting the court up i was just roaming around the room until Ms. Hadley tells me that the office needed help with stuff. so when i got their i was sharpening some more pencils and this time i wasn't so lucky as to find a pencil with no lead in it, but hey i got some coffee while i worked so that was good. After i sharpened pencil i was organizing some of the student information cards in alphabetical order and even though it was just 15 cards, that box is like a living nightmare because some people don't even put the cards in alphabetical order.
Afterwords i felt like having Jamba Juice so when Candy drove me to Jamba because their was a fundraising at a certain location and we had quite a few orders so i got to have mines free. ^_^ after i gave the teachers their beverages including Hadley herself i was hanging out with the tennis courts and watching after the kids and Ms.Hadley called my to highlight all of her track students on all of the time sheets. And for lunch i ate pork buns and other interesting foods. At the end of the day i left early because they had a track meet today.

Day 8

Time:7:45-3:20
Total:7hrs and 35min
Location: Claire Lillienthal...

Today i started with Ms. Hadleys class in helping with the tennis courts setting up like the boundries and what nots. So when i was about to go inside her bungalow and she told me that Candy needs my help for a little bit... And that little bit becomes for the rest of the day almost. So i went to the office and continue what i was finishing from last weeks assignment. I took down the rest of the 7th graders art piece and went to each of the two classes 7a and 7b. While is was organizing the art work into two different piles and science teacher ms. Delwitch i believe came into the office and told us to come out side for a moment and look into the sky. He told us that this is the day that venus and the moon is visible directly from eachother and that we can see it with our naked eye... At first i had to use the telescope and he told Cany and i that the moon is barley visible, and it looked like a finger nail also venus was way much harder to see, for me it took some time to spot it with the naked eye but once you find it it is easy to spot it. Venus looked like a tiny speck and every time i looked up for some time i saw stars, not the ones in the sky but when you loo up for quite some time or when you get dizzy some times. Afterwards i lost track of the time and his class was comming outside to see the moon and venus and i just forgot to stay on track... whoops... i gave him my thanks and ran straight to the office and into the rrom that the 7th graders were suppossed to be in but when i asked the teacher she said it was 8th grade class. But she told me it was passing period and a student told me which classes 7a and 7b were in. I delivered them and went straight to my next assignment. My next assignment was organising and adding up all the tickets for a rafle 10 in each pile, also i had to sharpen 288 pencils for standerdized tesiting, (Candy gvave me some coffee though so dont tell parents). it took quite some time before lunch started and Ms hadley treated Candy, herself, other teachers as well and of course my self...(i feel like a king getting spoiled ^_^). After lunch i continued and finished the tickets and papers and at the end i found a pencil with no lead in it, talk about ironic. The day is almost over and so i helped with the high jumpers for the track team and also taking more time to take the mats and the bars down. At the end i got a nice treat from Candy.

Day 7

time: 7:45 - 1:45
total:6 hours
location: Clair lillienthal... where else ^_^

Okay this day was an important day even though the work was alright but not the greatest either. Anyway for this day i got to take down a lot of the art work the school has made. by the way the school as two campuses because this school is k-8th grade and that size was two big so they divided it. Anyway this day i got to feel really cool and special because i got to use a ladder to get to the art work thats at the top, and some of the kids wanted to go up on the ladder or said they were to scared to do so. This day was also heavy on the teachers even my mentor because they wouldn't cooperate for giving the teacher their phone when they used it in class and made such a fuss about it when you can get it at the end of the day. At luch time ms. Hadley got us some lunch Candy (the one who works in the office), Amy (another person who works in the office), herself and for me as well. During luch time i went back into ms. Hadleys room and the kids were watching madagascar 2... Good movie good movie... After lunch i continued on some more of the art works. Any way this day was a bit stressful as you can tell... At the end of the class day i got a nice candy treat from Candy. This day didn't have track practice, instead a track meet so i decided to leave for today cause i didn't want to take up room in the cars.

Day 6

time: ???
total: ???
location: home

Okay so for this day I don't even know how long I'm supposed to post this day because my wle location was also off of spring break and I work with my dad for almost the entire week. But on another note, I know what I want to do for a project. I want to either make a tournament or have games where the physically and mentally disabled ca also play, so with ideas from my school learning center teachers they said that batchiball would be a really good sport for all of them to play. The one game they also came up with was like some sort of wheelchair game and I think it was some form of red and green light kind of game where each player has a wheel chair and you know try to reach to the end without getting caught. (Exactly like red and green light).

Day 5

time:7:45am - 2:50pm
total:7 hours and 5 min
location: Claire Lillienthal middle school


This day was pretty sweet i got to say. Do you remember the flag scoop game that i got to make? Well this day i got to try it out with lower graders, i believe the were fifth graders. My partners name was i think it was Conrad, again not so good with names. any who while we finished setting up the arena for the game (we used the small football area) the fifth graders all chose what ever group they were in before hand, and i didn't know how they set the groups up. At first when they started playing they didn't seem to like the game much and the teams were so uneven, it was 35 to zero basically. But at the end the teams were still uneven and they seemed to enjoy it... not a lot but they thought it was fun but just to cheap. At the end of the school day there was track practice/training them selves to be stronger in the next track meet. So that was my day of the week. see you later.
