Our final Lab

My last day at Saint Mary's after school program was by far the most memorable. It went far beyond learning a great teaching lesson, or simply having fun playing games. It showed me that sometimes a little extra goes a long way, and that's applicable to everything that I do. My partner in class (Mitch) told me that he had a Mario costume, from that point I decided to change my costume to Luigi. To my surprise it was a big hit with the children.
Our assignment on the day was to interview every student in our lab group, and report how they took to their own lab experiences. The costumes went over so well with the children that Mitch and I could not even get to half the students in our class. At one point we walked out to the play ground in an attempt to get a student from our PED 201 class aside for an interview. We honestly where instantly swarmed with children. At first I tried running away so they'd follow me and Mitch could possibly get the interview, but to no avail. Even though they followed me for a moment they quickly caught me, and Mario didn't have chance to go anywhere. Then our teachers assistant suggested that we get a game going to distract them. The kids clearly wanted to play tag so Mario gave them some rules and they all scattered. We played for a few moments then made our way back inside while the children where occupied.
That's honestly the story on the day. It was like almost everywhere we went. If the kids where already in a game they didn't seem to notices us, but most of the children who weren't came right over. It's apparent that the children knew we where in just costumes, but they seemed to love playing along. It honestly made the day a lot more adventurous, and in a way made me feel like I was five again too. Hands down this was the most memorable lab experience to date!
