We started our morning like how we have all week before we headed to Lifewise for our service and learning experience for the day. At Lifewise, we started with our learning which was a Monopoly game where everyone was given different rules. This was to teach us about generational wealth/poverty and how if you grow up in poverty its really hard to get out of poverty. After our learning, we came home for lunch and a nap. When we went back to Lifewise, we organized , separated, and priced things for the bodega (it's like a cheaper thrift store with other products that are also new). We also priced things like clothes and toys for their holiday market and organized and sized things like socks and underwear for the bodega. We also reorganized their free bookstand. We were excited to share our donation of underwear with the bodega as well. After our service work at Lifewise, we got ready and went to Amp Up to go on there ropes course and play laser tag. Some of us even got to play in the arcade for a little while. When we got home, we did homework while the teachers made us grilled cheese and tomato soup for dinner. We ended our night with a reflection and some chill time before bed.
