Call to Action Day
For Call to Action Day , my class and I went to the Marine Science Institution. We were there to help chaperone fifth graders from Ravens Wood School. We went on a boat all the way out by South San Francisco. It was actually a really nice experience. Not just for myself but my other classmates actually enjoyed it. And I know that the kids also enjoyed everything that we did that day.
We were split into groups. There was about four different groups, and we all went around to different stations, with our fifth graders. There was four different stations set up for everyone. The first one me and my group were at was called the mud stations. You would drop a shovel to pick up the mud and then see what you picked up. I was there to just help the kids with any questions or concerns that they had.Which was actually turned out to be really interesting to myself.
Then we went to the catching fish station, then learning about the sea creatures, then about the water and its temperature. A lot of the information was actually informative. Some of the stuff that was shared, I didn’t know and thought it was pretty cool. If I could back I definitely would.
It was a great experience because I was able to work with children. I like working with children, especially because that’s something I want to do later in life. I am glad that I was giving this opportunity to not only work with kids, but learn some new facts about the ocean. So now I have even more practice with children and more information to add to the things I already know. All in all, I had a good time and would consider definitely do it again, if giving the chance to.
