My supervisor's name is Delia Meza and she is an Early Childhood Educator at Brooklyn Children's Museum. At Brooklyn Children's Museum is an area that is called "Totally Tots" where my supervisor works and which is open for kids from 18 months-5 years old.
My supervisor is very nice, she is very friendly, cheerful, kind, creative but also very patient person.
The place where I work is very different from our school. This area is filled with toys and with different fun stuff for kids to play. Walls are colorful and very creative with different designs on them. Even though is a kids museum and is supposed to be very loud, this museum is very different and quite. This museum contains a water area, a quite book area for kids to relax and read something, a green garden which is full of fake trees and also real animals, a beach area in which you can walk with a feeling like you are on the beach and that's because when you walk in the "museum beach," there are speakers that make the sound that inform you that the waves are coming and also the seagulls which are a sign that inform you like you are on the beach.
Here at Brooklyn Children's Museum, there are other interns who work with me like Jensy, but also other people that work there or just volunteer. I also see my my mentor very often and her supervisor. My mentor's supervisor is a little strict and she want everything to be perfect, but otherwise, she is very nice and very respectful to the interns.
So far, in my internship, I practiced on how to read a children's book in order to make it more interesting but I also had to face my fear by touching snakes, turtles, cockroaches and also a seastar. Even though it was scary, i think it was a really big task that i accomplished.
My exact schedule of the internship is Thursday to Friday from 2 p.m to 5 p.m except on Fridays is until 5:30 p.m. Usually, I arrive home at 6:30 p.m except on Fridays on 7 p.m because I work a little later than the other days.
During my internship, I learned a very interesting fact about this museum. Brooklyn Children's Museum was the first museum that was open for kids in 1899 and all started when a woman was collecting toys and opening her hours for kids to play there everyday. Even though these days are a lot of children's museums, for my opinion, this is a museum that has its own beauty and perfection.
