Children's Museum

This week at the Children's Museum, our goal was to teach the children about frogs and toads, and mostly, the difference between them. We had outlines of a frog and a toad for the children to color, and when they would finish coloring the toad, we would have them glue some birdseed on its back to imitate the rough bumps on toads backs.
I have really enjoyed working with the children at the museum over the semester, and I always have a feeling of gratification when I leave there. I believe the work we do there not only has an impact on the children, but also on the children's parents. I can tell from every project we do with the children that their parents are very excited to have us their to teach the children about different animals. From the time I have spent doing my service learning project, I have realized the gratification that can be gained from helping others out, no matter how big or small. It is very important that people volunteer their time for various boards, councils, and other services.
