This summer, I had the wonderful opportunity to volunteer with Sewa Aspire at a summer camp for kids in grades 1 through 5. I mostly worked with second and third graders, where I was involved in helping teach math and creating fun activities for the students.
What I mostly did was help the students with basic math. We focused on teaching them how to tell time, count money, and understand addition, multiplication, and place values. I used various methods to make these lessons engaging and effective. For example, we used hands-on activities with clock models to teach telling time. These interactive methods helped the students better grasp concepts and made learning enjoyable.
In addition to teaching math, I organized and played educational games with the kids, such as hangman. These games were not only fun but also helped improve their spelling and vocabulary. Through these activities, we were able to build a connection with the students and create a positive learning environment.
Volunteering at the camp was a completely new experience. I loved seeing the students excitement as they learned new skills and their smiles during the games we played. It was gratifying to know that our efforts were making a difference in their summer experience. The joy and enthusiasm of the kids made every day enjoyable.
Overall, my time with Sewa Aspire was a fantastic experience that allowed me to contribute to the students growth while also developing my skills. It was a summer filled with learning, laughter, and growth, and I am grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of it.
