This week has been one of my more stressful weeks so far.
Next week our
program will be going from 12 kids to 40. Neither me nor my coworker have worked with
these kids before and we aren’t sure how everything will work out. We spent the first
part of this week shopping for all the supplies we need for next week. I spent one of the
days preparing all the supplies for each day and creating lesson plans for the tutors to
lead their respective groups. The last few days consisted of moving all of our supplies
out of our current classroom and to the school where we will be having program from
now on. We had so much stuff so it took a while for us to get everything in order. On
friday we spent the day meeting with the principal of the school. He informed us about
all of their COVID policies and answered the several questions we had about how they
have run things in the past. Our biggest issue at the moment is that we have 40 kids
enrolled and only 30 kids can be in the cafeteria at one time. The other 10 kids will have
to do program in one of the classrooms.
I think this coming week will be a very stressful one. None of us really know what
we are doing and we are transitioning to having a much larger group of kids. They also
finally hired a site coordinator for our program so me and my coworker will no longer be
doing work that we weren’t hired to do. I am very happy about this and hope that she is
able to start as soon as possible. My coworker has been a lot more stressed than me so
I know she will be very thankful as well.
