FLE 352 (02) – COMMUNITY SERVICE
Reflection Paper 1


I’ve done and completed my Community Service at ANACEV Anaokulu. I went there for 7 weeks on Fridays from 8am until 12pm. I worked with 5 year olds, and the teachers in my classroom were Rukiye and Sirin Hoca. They were very nice and welcoming, and I enjoyed being in their classroom for 7 weeks. The principle of the school was Nurdan Hoca, although she seemed strict, in general she was nice, welcoming and helpful too. There were 31 students in my classroom, it was a crowded and busy group.
They had the same schedule every week on Friday mornings that I spent there for 7 weeks. They started their day with their free time to read and share their books that they brought from home. While they were reading their books the teachers were generally keeping up with paper work or some classroom projects. At 9am it was breakfast time and after washing their hands they got into line and head for the cafeteria. I generally helped by serving their water or milk and had breakfast with them. After breakfast we head back to the classroom and it was time for the girls ballet class. During the preparation for their class I generally helped them to get dressed and I joined them at their ballet lessons. It was very enjoyable and entertaining to watch the girls dancing and also observing their progress throughout the seven weeks. The ballet lesson took generally 20 minutes and during that time the boys are left back in their classroom having free time with their choice of toys. After the ballet lesson the girls go back to their classroom, get dressed back to their daily clothes.
After the ballet class it is time for their English lesson. The classroom gets organized for the English teacher and students sit down on their chairs and wait for their teacher. During this period I generally helped the students to get organized and ready. The English class takes about 30 minutes and after it is finished the students head to the cafeteria to have their lunch. I generally had lunch with them and get finished with my task after the lunch.
