Volunteer Experience

This week I was involved in several components of my volunteer experience. I was in the classroom and it was more productive than in past weeks. The children were calmer and the teacher was able to implement learning sessions. One student was sent home because of behavioral problems. I was able to work one on one with the students who are struggling. There were 3 of these students. We sat at a separate table and I did the same learning activity with them. At times it was difficult because they had a short attention span. I had to keep redirecting them back to the activity. I am trying to learn innovative ways to do this such as guiding with counting blocks. Many of these children cannot write their numbers and I have been trying to give them easy ways to do this. I also have been working with the lead Kindergarten teacher on my CAP project. They have so many needs and I will continue to work with her.
