I don't know what to call this...

Well, I believe that the boys in my group(Lil Weezys) are  retaining some core values and skills to get them through their lives but I also believe some of them are completely missing other key things that could prove useful. Many of these boys are getting the first hand experience of variety and coping with a certain level of institutional change in the curriculum(which could pertain to a scholastic setting or other type of institution). They are slowly getting to understand certain social norms such as a sense of togetherness and teamwork, but they are also having trouble as individuals to take the group into consideration when they make decisions. These boys have been getting comfortable with the art of practicing and re-teaching(relearning on their part). 

Tyler for instance has been given a chance to be a part of the group, when he previously served as the scape goat and outcast. Hunter is getting a more positive environment than what I believe to be his home situation. Jacob just refuses to participate but I believe that he is receiving a small sense of motivation which is what I believe seems to be lacking in his life. Josh S is a very difficult and disturbed child, which I witnessed first hand today, but I feel he is getting some positive influence from male figures. Joey seems to be getting better at asking questions because of some of our performing arts activities. Seb is a very hard kid to read as to whether or not he is enjoying himself but I think he, like Josh, is getting some positive influence from male role models. Buddy is in the same boat as Josh and Seb. I'm not sure if Nick is getting anything out of this camp nor am I sure Josiah is really benefiting because he has an attention span of about a second. Will is another one that I have trouble reading and determining his progress. But overall these kids are getting some good social skills for life, especially with dealing with girls.
