Senior Project Progress #2

For my senior project I have already finished my mentor interview questions. I have interviewed my mentor had her fill out the mentor contract and turned all that in on time to my government teacher. During the time I met with my mentor I scheduled with her at the time she thought was convenient for me to go and volunteer there. I have not finished scheduling my hours with her because she needs to see what hours are convenient for her and what hours are convenient for me I had told her I can do more of my hours on short days which are on Wednesdays and also on Friday’s.

                I am also considering on going to child start and seeing if I am also able to volunteer there and get more hours done because I have a feeling I will only be able to do just my 20 hours with my mentor at the pre-school. I also want to see the different atmospheres that there is between a pre-school and a child start program and I would  be going there and checking up with a lady from there because I had gone before and they had said that I would be able to go and volunteer there. So I am going to go again and double check with them after I have token my tuberculosis test.  I have my appointment for my tuberculosis test on Monday and then I will have to go two days later to have the tuberculosis test read and I also have an appointment scheduled for the reading of the tuberculosis test.

I have started thinking of what I am going to include in my senior project paper because I know it has to be five to six pages long and what I am going to talk about in m y essay is how babies and toddlers develop their language skills.  I also hope to include why it is so important for babies and toddlers to develop their language skills early in life and I am also planning on including how babies and toddlers without being able to speak are able to communicate with their elders and are able to get their point across. I have gone to the Napa county library and put books on hold because they were not available at the time but I was able to get my hands on 2 books on the language development skills of babies and I am hoping they will b helpful. I was also talking to the librarian there and she found my topic very interesting and she offered to help me with what I needed and I was very grateful. I am hoping I am able to get my books before thanksgiving break so I can start to read them and hopefully start typing my essay.
