Volunteering in the 1st Grade

I was happy to be involved with Alyssa's school again during this last R & R, getting to know her teacher and classmates.  As usual, Alyssa requested that I volunteer at her school.  She enjoys seeing me and I enjoy the attention of Alyssa and the kids.  The last two times, I was able to read to the children about what they were learning that week (US flag, black history month, etc) and then helping them to write a few things they learned.  One time I even helped them to draw/assemble crafts for veterans day.  It was a lot of fun.

I'm happy that Alyssa is bright and getting along well.  During the last teacher's conference, Alyssa's reading has improved dramatically and will be smooth sailing in the 2nd grade.  I get good reviews from her teacher about how Alyssa is a great student and helping others.
