back to basics

a VERY quick little update...

the first full week i was back in racine, the center hosted a "back to basics" camp for 20 middle school students. the mornings were spent reviewing basic skills in reading, math, and writing, and the afternoon was spent going on field trips and working with a program that lets the kids build and program their own robots- so fun! :)

i was able to teach the math part of the week, which was a good learning experience. we spent five days reviewing everything you would want to know (or could care less about) regarding fractions. i tried to make it fun so i hope it worked!

overall the kids were really great. it was nice to see some of the kids from last year and get to know some new students who may come to the center once school starts. it was definitely a nice way to start off round 2.

here are some pictures from the week. more updates coming soonnnnnn
