Volunteers
Hi, I know lots of people are chomping at the bit to get in here. I am so lucky to have such a supportive group of parents.
Book Group We have 16 kiddos who have already met their end of the year benchmarks in reading (Wow I know). That means that they have shifted their focus from learning to read to reading to learn. One of the best ways to do this through a book club. Thinking about literature in a way they might not have before. Groups are great but they do require an adult to help them focus and discuss their books. It is super fun. I love reading the novels and getting in their with them. I also want a reward for students who are ready for a more advanced reading program. If you would be interested, it could happen any day of the week, but it must happen between 12:20 and 1:35. They usually take around a half an hour.
Please respond to this post if you are interested in volunteering for this or anything else so I can get a list going.

If I start volunteering but then have to stop (hopefully getting a job!), is that ok? If it is, I’m happy to start ASAP. (I’m Bella’s Nona.) I also have 2 therapy dogs whom I would like to get involved in the Reading with Dogs program. They are not certified for that yet, but I train them and could research this to see if there is anything in particular they need to learn to do. One is a corgi (Jazz) and one is a papillon (Flynn.) All the kids love them! This reading program has been shown to increase reading levels 2-3 times in kids who participate.

I could start with Diana and take over when she has to move on. I can’t commit to the whole year, but could take it a few months at a time.
Thanks!

One book at a time would be the commitment I need. I’ll put you in the list for maybe
