Laurel Hill

For my service project I went to Laurel Hill Elementary School. I spent the past two weeks in Mrs. Hanley’s fifth grade class. During my time at Laurel Hill, I worked closely with each student helping them in English and math. I also assisted them with health posters that they created for the High School students from the MET. My class had the opportunity of having High School students from the MET come every Tuesday to teach them about health and fitness. Their assignment was to make posters displaying the information they learned throughout the weeks the MET students were there. I also had the chance to work with the kids in the gym, teaching them how to play basketball. This was especially fun because it was amazing to share something I love with kids who were so eager to learn. Over all, this experience is one that I know I will never forget. I feel as though I got to know each student personally and connected with each one on a personal level. I also had the privilege to watch a skilled teacher set high expectation for each of her students and support them in every way she could to have them be successful. I am very fortunate to have shared some time with Mrs. Hanley and her fifth grade students.
