It was a very simple experience compared to the regular school year. I was able to interact with students that I normally work with year-round over the summer and they were excited to see other supervisor staff and myself over the summer.
What I wish was different
I would have liked to get more involved in their summer program or look into volunteering or being hired on with my current license in some capacity.
Advice
It offers beginning student and staff interactions without the demands and pressure that is on playground supervisors, cafeteria staff, or other staff during the regular school year. Taking the part time job as a playground supervisor grants a fair amount of student interaction experience and helps to develop educational professionalism as you become familiar with the school setting, the district, and staff.
