Library

1/26/10

Today i had to put books away again and the movies. i also got to ride the elevator when i had to bring a cart downstairs with books and movies in it. i felt happy to help the librarians with all of the books and movies because they are pretty old and it is pretty hard for them to move around.

Libaray assistaint

December 7,2009
today i had to put away a lot of books in the children's section as well as the adult area. it made me feel like i was helping them a lot and being a pretty good volunteer since i had put away so many books thus i had felt good after all the books were put away.

December 14,
today we didn't have as many books to put away but i did get to help them make x-mas tree ornaments and it put me in a happy mood by helping them. it also made me feel like i was making a difference at that library with all of my good ideas.

December 21,
again we focused mainly on selling the x-mas tree ornaments in order to use the money to help better fund the library. this made me feel important because i was helping my community by selling them hand made ornaments.

December 28,
after Christmas i had to make paper glasses for the kids at the new years eve party. this was really tedious work since i had to cut out every ******** piece of paper but at least it was mindless work so i could pass the time by listening to music.

January 5, 2010
today i had a plethora of homework to do so i could not stay for the full 2hrs and it made me feel bad because they still had work to do and i was not there to help them.

January 12,
today we had the shelves packed with books that had to be put away. it made me feel a little overwhelmed at first but good at the same time because i knew that if i didn't do it then they would have to thus it made me feel good that i could help them out.

Helping Mr.Hyer with the smart board

12/11/09
today Mr.Hyer and I were working on the smartboard in his classroom. we first had to take the screen off the wall and set it on the floor so that it wouold be safe and would not get damaged when i was taking all of the screws out of the back of it to make drill holes for a piece of metal that would hold the smart board to the wall so it would not be knocked down if it was hit with a backpack. However, i was only able to get half of it done before i had to leave and get my I.D. but i look foreward to finishing it on moonday.

SOI metting 11/23/09

library 11/16/09

today was my second time vouluntering at the library and today we had made little figurens out of a dough which would be baked so it would keep its shape and be hung on a x-mas tree. we had alot of fun we all made jokes and listened to saturday night live digital shorts while we worked so over all it was a fun time.

turkey give away

11/12/09
i am planning on how many supplies i am going to need for Thursday and i am going to ask everyone to bring in supplies Tuesday for Thursday. i am doing this because i feel that it is important for a family to have a thanksgiving day.

SoI 11/12/09

today we had gotten together and decided we were only going to work on the day of food rather then trying ot get another bake sale going. i feel this is a good idea because we were going to try and have a get together and all of us eating and drinking together while panning for later in the year.

SOI meeting 10/22/09

today we discussed whether or not we were going to have a giant food extravaganza after midterms or before thanksgiving vacation. We contributed by giving ideas on the time and classroom on where to have it. I feel this is a good idea because it will get students more interested in organic food.

Soi Bake sale 10/09/09

we had planned to sell goods today and we did. i was a part of the selling force while some of the others were in charge of getting the food.i had to meet the other sellers at break right next ot the stairs and attempt to sell tea and browines. lukily we were able sell $25.00 worth of tea and snacks. this is good because we had not sold all of our supply so we were able to make a profit and not have to restock.

Sandy neck hike

July,16,09: We Began the hike at around 6:00PM when we got there by car and it was very foggy and dark. we hike for about three hours before we asked some guys in a summer home if a certain path would lead to our campsite and they pointed us in the right direction. the new scouts were having trouble keeping up because their parent's had unfortunately packed their bags for them and had made them to heavy so we had to stop every once in a while so they could catch their breath. we had hiked three miles to get their but it was in the deep sand so the older scouts and I helped everyone sit up their tents for the night.

July, 17,09: we got up at around 7:00AM and the patrols cooked breakfast and we went clamming at around 8:30AM because the tied had gone out and we thought we could get something.We stopped trying to get anything at around 9:30AM so instead we had two of our older scouts create an orienteering course that the patrols had to complete in a certain time in order to get a prize. All the patrols had finished the orienteering course at around 12:30PM then we hiked three miles to a light house and then walked the three miles back after we ate lunch at around 3:30PM.We got back to the campsite at around 5:30PM and we all cooked dinner and played on the beach until 8:30PM. Then we went to sleep and all got up at around 7:00AM after we ate we hiked back to the parking lot on the beach shore so that the sand would be hard and it would not be such a strenuous route. The new scouts had a really hard time because their gear did not get spread around evenly so they ended up carrying more than they should have so we had to go slow. we got back to the parking lot at about 11:00AM and then the parents came and picked up their kids.

I feel that I had fulfilled my goal for the weekend because i had helped the new scouts get through their first hike and had helped them complete it.
