Lincoln After School

Friday October  13th 2017,


Today I went to the Lincoln school in Providence with my YDEV 352 class.  We got to see their after school program first hand. My first impressions were that you would have never known you were in providence if  it wasn't for the address. We were surrounded by brand new toys. A playground that wasn't rusty and worked. There was also grass and trees growing all around the surrounding areas.  Inside the building was clean and organized. Each child had their own designated space.  Today, select children had yoga and that was an expectancy in its own. They all followed along but what I liked most was if they made a mistake the teacher did not call the student out, she just kept going on to the next move. This was awesome because it allowed them to get their bodies movie after sitting in a classroom all day but it doesn't make them feel over whelmed by "getting the move wrong". The children laughed and enjoyed themselves.  Although there were adults in charge, the youth knew what to do without being told and it was as though they had the power. They were leading in their environment. I loved that they were given all the resources to succeeded in their education and at communication goals.  The one question I left having was wondering how these students would perform in a providence public school. I also feel as though all schools should be funded the same. Public and private because all kids deserve a fair start.
