Service Learning May 15

We had quite a few problems this week.

1) The group wanted to have a fundraiser for supplies and we had to come up with something to sell and a slogan. We picked the top three and instead of choosing one, they chose three. We are going to sell something new each week for the next three weeks.

2) When creating names, almost half of or group was missing because or the dance and we had a lot of people we had to bring up to speed.

3) During all this, as the leader, I tried to take control of the group an keep us focused. However, all they wanted to do was clown around and Kaliah decided she was the boss, shoting down all my ideas, telling me what to do, and making decissions without the consent of the group.

4) We came up with the schedule for sellers and what they would be selling. We also decided who would be bringing in what.

5) A list was made of the supplies we will need. Though we don't really need the supplies, the students should provide them, they insited on buying a bulk set of pencils, erasers, and other little things.

6) We may have gotten some work done, but it was not done the way it should have been and I am begining to feel as though this system is never going to come to be. All we do is handle insignificant details or don't do any work or do it incorrectly. We need someone to give us a hand.

7) For next week, we need to work on finding possible tutors, coming up with a tutoring schedule, and finding a place to hold these sessions. We also need to create a plan for keeping tabs on the teachers' school schedules so we know what to tutor them in.
