The first week of Summer Enrichment with Pomona Hope went swimmingly! We had plenty of volunteers, about a bajillion (not really) students, and for the most part, everyone was pretty well behaved. The only talking out of turn that I noticed in my workshops were because the students were so engaged, so I find it hard to punish at that time.
Emily said that the first day was the smoothest first day she'd ever seen... which concerns me a little since it was so crazy (at least the prep part and the very beginning), but as the coordinator for the day, I have to admit that it did go really well while I was coordinating.
It was a short week due to the Independence Day holiday (which I hope went well for you all). We only had one history workshop this week, but it was awesome! Mr. Bob (Bob Beck, from La Verne Heights Presbyterian Church) came in as a guest speaker and showed the kids a bunch of artifacts from the area, some going all the way back to 1820! As a cultural historian, he is interested in how people lived before today, so he has all kinds of interesting things that even *I* had never seen before and wouldn't have known what to do with it if it fell in my lap.
