For my senior service project I spent my time at Children's Friend and Service. I spent a majority of the time at the Vincent A. Cianci Head Start School located in Providence. I was there from 8:30 until 12:00. While there I was able to assist with their meal times, which happened twice, I would help with activities, as well as play with the children. Each classroom had about 18 students, I was placed in the same room as Catherine, room 4. Our class was learning about the Solar System so Catherine and I decided to do an activity with the kids to help better their understanding. We had them build Solar System mobiles where they had to tape each planet onto a hanger in proper order. Along with helping learn more about the Solar System it also helped with basic functions such as cutting and taping. The second week we went to the zoo which was fun because it was nice to see all the excitement on the kid's faces. I highly enjoyed my time at the Cianci school and would gladly go back.
From 12:00 to 2:30 I, along with the other members of the group at Children's Friend and Service planned a donation drive for the School. During this drive we were able to collect toothbrushes and toothpaste, because brushing teeth is an important part of the students day. We were also able to collect toys and books from numerous stores located around Providence.
