4:00 P.M. -- 5:15 P.M

My second visit with my mentor was not as long as the first one. I felt bad because she had to wait for me until the assembly was over. Honestly she looked frustrated.hahahaha!!!! I don't feel guilty because I didn't know myself there was going to be an assembly that evening, but if I had known I would of told her to come in until four. Thats life!!!

So the only hour I saw her on tuesday helped me brainstorm for my senior project, product. I had seen her on thursday of last week but not for mentor hours, it was for the free class at gymboree she recommended me to go on. I took my baby in for a daily class and it gave me the chance to see what she does at her job. WoW!!!!! I was surprized, her job let me know why she doesn't want to have kids any time soon. She does require patience and a good sence of humor for her daily basis. Well anyways back to my hour on tuesday.....

So we talked about me interacting with the children here at school. I am still undecided about my product. On the next visit when she comes, we decided to go observe the children here at plc. I made plans to go and speak with Ms. Mimi and the nursing experts to let me make expirements with the children and if I was able to take pictures before our next visit.

We also went over the pacing guide and some examples that were on line to give us more ideas.
As far as my knowledge and her knowledge we are both definetely learning more and more about children development. She teaches me about her experiences and her observations and I am teaching her with the knowledge I am gaining through this senior project.

Well that is so far what I have done in my progect that deals with my mento. I am not as far, but I am also not as advance in my project as I would desire.So those are the three first hours I have completed for my mentor log so far...but I am definetely exiceted for more
