I had the privilege of helping out with the after school program at Sunshine last week and it was a lot of fun! Those kids are crazy.
Club 2-5-2 is called 2-5-2 because of Luke 2:52," And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man." 2-5-2 is around to help the kids who attend grow in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.
It's basically a tutoring program. The kids come to Sunshine at about 3 p.m. to work on their homework until 4. At 4, they all go to different stations where they have 10 minutes to complete an assignment correctly and then move on to the next assignment at the end of the 10 minute period. Each of the nights focuses on a different subject. The subject that was focused on last Thursday was reading, so the assignments were all about simple predicates, simple subjects, basic reading comprehension, and character identification. These were all divided by grade of course, so the 1-2 graders did basic reading skills, the 3-4 graders had character identification, and the 5-6 graders learned about simple predicates and simple subjects.
It doesn't help that I haven't even THOUGHT about any of these things since I was in those grades! I completely blanked on how to find the simple predicates and subjects for about 30 seconds.
Fail on me. haha.
After the 4 sessions that the kids have, they sit down and listen to Pastor Pete, Pete Blodgett- Sunshine Youth Pastor- talk to them about some Bible story. This past week's story was Job.
They usually get to play a few games, but this week ran a little bit late so they got a piece f candy and had to go home. No fun awana games. :( sad day.
It was a lot of fun helping the kids though. The first and second graders are the cutest! They get really crazy when they are done reading though. They start running around unless you have something for them to do.....hmmmm. Addition and Subtraction flashcards anyone? How do these kids LIKE doing math? I've always hated math.
2-5-2 is twice a week, so hopefully I will be able to help out again this week on either Tuesday or Thursday.
