Journal #1; First Elementary School Visit

As I took my first visit to my school of West on a dreary Wednesday, I attempted to find the correct building and park in the correct spot, while in the downfall of rain, which seemed to be a task in itself.
Once inside, I was seated in the office while I waited for other FNED students in the program to arrive, and for the literacy coach to give us an orientation. She gladly walked us through the activities and steps of tutoring and volunteering, then brought us each to our individual classrooms. There, I was introduced to the six students I would be working with. Each group of three kids got to split their time with me and I found the whole visit quite enjoyable. I look forward to returning next week!

  1. I'm happy that you enjoyed your first day. I was just wondering what activities you did with your children and if they seemed eager to play them with you? see you in class :)

  2. I played games about fluency of speaking and working on reading in a fluent voice. The kids seemed to have a great time and they even asked if I could stay instead of them going to lunch. :)
