-kindergarten to 7th graders
-recess monitor
-there were always four teachers plus 2 staff members plus me
-monitor the play ground area where kids were playing
-making sure that they are being respectful towards each other and behaving
-safety was a huge concern
-if classmates got hurt, the whole class was punished and didn’t get recess the next day
-interesting to see the cliques were formed from kindergarten onwards
-there were popular kids, loners etc
-teachers usually huddled together
-didn’t micromanage
-i was hovering over them
-i retrieved the balls if it went over the fence
-easier to manage younger kids because if someone pushed them, they’d cry and the kid who pushed would apologize
-i wish i could ‘ve volunteered where there was a real need. well funded school and they still had gym classes. hated driving to the city where the school is located.
-mostly, hispanic students. some cannot speak english and staff helps them
-some kids asked me to play with them bc they didn’t have anyone to play with
