Towards the end of this month, I started to tutoring 8th graders during Wednesday breaks and shelving books during CAS Fridays.

TUTORING

To prepare for tutoring, I created a post-test review guide for the students based on their Physics diagnostic test. This was to help them become more familiar with the concepts behind the correct answers. Due to the time limit, I have to explain the concepts in a concise manner. I think that this is good practice not only for myself because I am taking Physics HL for IB, but also so that I am able to mentor students in clubs such as MUN (MS & HS).

VOLUNTEERING AT THE LIBRARY

I decided to propose this volunteering idea to the librarians after finding that most of my CAS was done outside of school and that my CAS Fridays should be put to a service activity. I began going to the library and checking out books more frequently than I did during middle school and my previous two years of high school. A goal I have set for myself this year was to consume more reading and explore different genres. I have done volunteering at the local library, but I have not been able to do so after school started. I was glad to find out that the librarians at school were eager for us to volunteer, and I definitely want to give back to them in some manner. From the previous time I went to shelve books with Kayla, we were able to finish shelving all the books at the library during that time.
