Favorite food: Ice cream
Current school: Worthington Hooker
A lady named Lisa came from the Whitney Water Center and we made a big model out of pipes and straws and paper and a big carpet. The model represented the water entering our homes from the pipes. Way later we went swimming at Wilbur Cross.
Paule-Ann’s Day
Favorite food: Pizza
Favorite TV show: The Suite Life of Zack and Cody
Favorite sport: Soccer
A lady named Lisa came from the RWA to tell us how water gets to our house from the lake, from the reservoir. She told us that the water was cleaned before it gets to our houses; it doesn’t come directly from the lake. We made a model of pipes and houses in the neighborhood to show how water gets to from the lake to our house.
And later on, we ate lunch. The lunch wasn’t from the New Haven Schools. I liked it.
Then we went swimming at Wilbur Cross. Some people were playing Marco Polo, but I didn’t play. I was swimming in the deep end. Then we got on the bus to come back to home base.
Adisa’s DayFavorite food: Pizza
Favorite subject in school: English
Today we stayed in the Solar Youth home base. The lady named Lisa came to visit us from the RWA center which we visited last week. She told us that water came from underneath somewhere. She decided to tell us to draw our dream house and then she laid out a map about where we live. She gave us pipes labeled with street names and she told us where to direct them on the map. After, she gave us a maze but we didn’t complete it. We told her thank you when she left.
After she left we ate our lunch, which Miss Hanifa and Nicole provided for those who didn’t bring their own lunch.
A photo taken by Shanice (a camper) of the youth that went to East Rock Park instead of swimming (Shanice made sure to pose the other youth!)When we were done we went to Wilbur Cross swimming pool. There was six of us, including me, who didn’t go swimming because I wasn’t feeling that good. So Rose and Dontae and Jody took us to East Rock Park across from the Wilbur Cross High School. We played different games including tag and we went on the swings also. Sometime later after we were all stressed out, Jody showed us some of the pictures on her phone. Shanice and I thought that Jody smiles too much and takes too many pictures of herself, but really, she is very beautiful. We also saw pictures of the staff. Finally, Shareece and I went back to tell the other kids it was time to go back and leave.
We went back to the swimming pool and picked up the other kids. When we arrived it was reflection time which was drawing what we built as a group today and labeling it. After all, today was a great day for me. Everything was fun. I love Solar Youth.
