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.
