Saturday Academy November 20, 2010

Today's Saturday Academy was very relaxed. Today the students were supposed to go to a nursing home and spend time with the elderly but something didn't work out so we stuck with the usual plan. The students were granted an extended recreation period. Next the student went a learned a lesson about careers and dreams. The instructor passed out folders with paper in them and told the students to write out their dreams in life and what they desired to be. She told them that every dream in their folder could come true if they put their mind to it. I thought that this type of encouragement was awesome and that more students all of age need to hear the same thing. After the lesson the students went to the computer lab and played educational games until it was time for lunch. I must admit that some of the games were catching my attention just as much they were catching the kids. The interaction during this time was great.
