Today I colored for a bit with the kids then we went outside. I asked everyone what they were gonna be for Halloween and it was so cute hearing about all the kid's costumes. After that we went inside then I read with Joshua. He read the Lorax to me and The Little Engine that could. He did great but then wanted to finish his reading time with Autumn. Once reading time was over I played 4-sqaure with a couple of the kids and decorated superhero masks.

I had so much fun volunteering at YRCC. I got to spend time with so many kids who were so sweet and energetic, and we had great conversations. I helped make some crafts for the upcoming halloween festival and hung out in the tech room for a little while. The other volunteers were so sweet and welcoming, as it was my first time there. It was so refreshing to see these kids having fun and building relationships with the staff and each other.

On this day 10/9 at the YRCC, I spent some time with the kids outside and we played tag or a little bit. When we all went inside I got to read about dinosaurs with Daelynn. After reading time we played 6 corners and the winners got candy. After this I went back outside with some of the younger kids and played with Josh for a bit until it was time to go.

This week I went into the Yvonne Richard Community Center to continue working on Holiday Bingo. I printed the flyers I had made and figured out which one would look best for the community to see. I also worked on a QR code for the event for people to RSVP for bingo. After working on these two things, I continued to research more on catering ideas.

On this day 10/ 2 I got to color with the kids and talked about their school day while they ate snacks. We then went outside to play for a bit. I played on the playscape with some of the younger boys. After that, we had reading time. I didn't get to help anyone read this week because there were enough pals there. Once reading time was done we played a little bit of dodgeball and then I went to the art room to make Mr. Potato Heads. I also made a bracelet with Chase.

On this day at the YRCC I got to go outside and play soccer with a young girl. I do not remember her name but she is Josh's sister. We then went inside to read and I got to read with Josh again. We read The Very Hungry Caterpillar and a book about a disco fish. I always love getting to hangout with Josh and he's great at reading. After that we had some free time, so we played with these giant building blocks. Harley and I built a fort.

This week I worked on the YRCC Holiday Bingo Event from home. I was given my instructions on what I need to be working on and got to work. I started finding potential options for catering for Holiday Bingo. I emailed, called, and searched online to find the best pricing for the expected amount of people that will be in attendance at the event. I made a google doc and placed all the catering information to have for the future when making our final decisions.

Yesterday at the YRCC I got to spend most of my time with this little boy named Josh. We hung out outside and ran around in the grass. We talked about his favorite color being yellow like a banana and he liked that my shoes were pink. After that, we went inside and I got to read with him for a little bit. He is not very verbal so I loved getting to see how amazing of a reader he was. We read a Lego Ninjago book and Pete the Cat. He thought the Pete the Cat book was super funny and liked that Pete eats bananas. Once reading time was over I played Uno with a group of kids until it was time to go home. I truly love my time at the YRCC!
