On that Saturday, I went with a couple of other students to an organic farm, the same organic farm I have been going to for a couple of times.
First, we went into the plant nursery and planted corn. We poked holes into the soil, put one kernel of corn into each hole, and swept extra dirt in the end to fill up the hole.
Afterwards, we transplanted a mixed variety of vegetables from their trays onto a larger plot of soil.
Lastly, we dug up sweet potatoes and removed leaves from the plot.
Today, I went with another student to help Mrs. Wilson. This time, I helped her grade a few "pre-tests" and sorted the students based on what they knew about the unit already. Mrs. Wilson told me to sort it by "those who know nothing", "those who know a little", and "those who know a lot". Afterwards, I helped to cut and mount cartoons about systems of equations and absolute values onto a bulletin board. I took down the old cartoons from the previous unit and replaced them with the new ones that Victoria and I searched for before. I helped to organize one of her tables a bit.
For the past two Mondays, I attended SWD Meetings. We talked about our upcoming service and planned activities for it. Here is a summary.
Last Wednesday, I tutored a different middle schooler. This sixth grader was absent for a few classes and needed to make up her unit test. So, I helped her review for her test. We mainly focused on vocabulary and sentence structure. I would write the pinyin or chinese word and she would write the definition and the pinyin/chinese word.
