Wedenday, July 8. Group A "Keating's struggle"

After we left for Queens for the second time, we spent about an hour on the subways. Once we got

off, Keating took the map and started to guide us to Hour children (no typo) Unfortunately his 

navigation landed all of us in the hospital; because he had read the wrong address. A few minuets 

later we get to Hour children, which is a day care center for children whose mothers are incarcerated. 

The day care took in children for ages 3days to 4 years. Emmy and Olivia were put in charge of 

watching over 3 years olds, Nola watched over babies and Keating and I watched over the 

four year olds. The four year olds were doing yoga when we arrived. The preschool kids were taken 

to a play ground outside for 15 minuets. And the three year olds were outside for 1 hour. When we 

took the kids back inside we gave them lunch, a couple of the kids thought it would be hilarious to 

throw spoons at Keating (Emmy got a laugh out of that) When they finished lunch, we read books 

chosen by the kids for the kids. Soon after this we had to leave and when we got back, we all went to 

Thompson's square bagels for dinner. Keating got his bagel last.   Reflections penned by Michael Gore
