My Involvement in the Service Learning Project
It was just last week when I was involved in assisting young girls to make crafts for their Christmas holiday. The girls were aged between 4-10 years and although they were  HYPERLINK "http://search.babylon.com/?s=web&babsrc=HP_ss&rlz=0&q=enthusiastic" enthusiastic to make their own made crafts, they were very shy. This created a communication problem, as they could not exchange ideas in the process of making the crafts. This regenerated to the process going at a slow pace. As an older person, I decided that I should take control of the situation and guide the girls to make their crafts. To make them feel at ease, I became friendly and shared jokes with them. This indeed worked as the children were now talking freely with no fear.
We had decided that we would make snowman ornaments for Christmas purposes. We gathered the materials that were needed to make the craft such as glasses, white filter, orange craft form, marker, pipe cleaner, and black craft form square and glue dots. The orange craft form was used for cutting triangles to make snowman’s nose. The black craft form square was used in making the snowman’s hut. The glass ornaments surprisingly appeared wonderful for these children’s crafts. I was required to give a closer supervision while they made the crafts lest they be hurt by the glasses. My children worked wonderfully on the craft and we made crafts that many people could not believe were made by kids.
In assembling the materials, I first removed the hanger from the ornaments before the children started making the craft. I had the children fill these ornaments with the filler they had chosen. I also provided them with an eraser and a pencil so as to push the filler through the ornament’s top. We used glue dots to add some features such as the eyes, and orange triangle for the nose. We made snowman’s mouth with small dots with a black marker. I reminded the children to make their circles in the glass ornament...
