Today I started my bi-weekly volunteer sessions in Zoe's classroom. I spent an hour with the kids; first on the playground, then in the classroom for handwriting and Writer's Workshop. Their teacher has that classroom running like a well oiled machine. I was taking a lot of mental notes. The kids always knew what was expected of them, and how to proceed. They are all in varying stages of learning to read and write, as well as learning how to learn. It was fascinating to be there, watching it all happen.
Zoe was so excited to have her mommy there- but I needed to help all the kids, and I could tell Zoe wanted more of my attention. It was great getting to know all of her classmates- I hear about them in bits and pieces. They are a neat bunch of kiddos.
Here is a picture of Zoe, and her favorite buddy, Cyrus.
