Playbox Activity

Last evening, Kristen and I facilitated our playbox activity on saying goodbye (sadface). :( The idea for our playbox came up when I was looking for a community "see you later" activity. Both of us immediately thought it would be a good idea.

I enjoyed preparing for the activity by cutting out all of the stars and using cardstock glitter paper that I had at home as a border. I enjoyed facilitating the activity. I thought it was a good moment of reflection for our YDEV community.  It was an enjoyable experience. 

 If I would change anything, I would have changed the activity by having everyone take a star and putting their names on them. The star could then be passed around and have people write a wish for them on it in addition to the wish they have for our community.

Happy Monday everyone. I hope you're off to a great start this week! 😊 Today I am here to talk about a position I'd like at PASA (the Providence After School Alliance. When looking on the "Our Team" Page, one job really stuck out to me. I really liked the idea of the After Zone Site Coordinator.

02904

For this blog post, I decided to research the zip code 02904. 02904 is a zip code used for North Providence, RI. Ironically enough, it is the zip code used for the opposite side of the town I live in. (I live in the 02911 area). When looking up information for the 02904 zip code there is approximately 29,359 people living in this area. Of these 29,359 individuals living in this area, 22.2% of them live below the poverty line. Since I am working with children, I looked up demographics about children living in the 02904 area and found school information. I looked up demographics for Marieville school, which is located in the 02904 area. The ethnic makeup for this school is 42% white. The other percentages come from various backgrounds including Hispanic, black, two or more races, Asian, American Indian/ Alaska Native, and Pacific Islander or Hawaiian Native. This ethnic background of students makes up 58% of the school. Of all of the students, 63% come from low income families.
