service learning project

My five hours of service learning all goes to Tibbott Elementary School in Bolingbrook, Illinois. I went there on April 29th around 3:00 and went home around 8. it was a very long day.  I participated in the Garden Club where i made concrete stones that had little decorations to put in with the kids that also participated in the Garden Club in their school. We probably made over 10 of them. i also helped mix the concrete to go into the molds for the concrete stepping stones. Once we were done with those, we took the already made ones from the previous Garden Club meeting i didn't go to and we put the stones in the garden behind the school. we also did edging, weeding, and watering the plants all with our bare hands. it was pretty funny though when they were trying to water the plants, we got into a water fight. it was a lot of fun. i think all the kids there were pretty sassy in a good way. they were alot of fun to talk to, especially Rachael and David. They were both in fifth grade and they talked to me alot asking me about college. it was probably because i had my Lewis University sweatshirt on and they were curious. overall, it was a very enjoyable experience and i would definitely do it again because of how fun the kids were.
