A Volunteer Perspective...
"Mrs. Richmond's class greeted me with smiles and
a resounding "Good morning Mrs. Lupo." This was my first JA in a Day and
first time teaching 1st grade, so their welcome made me feel at ease. I was
so impressed with how well these excited students behaved, participated in
the activities, and retained what we discussed. In one lesson from the "Our
Families" unit, each student named a way he or she could help their parents
make their homes good places live. If they all remember to do what they said
they'd do, there will be a lot more cleaner bedrooms for the parents of
these Jefferson Elementary 1st graders - I can only hope. Just five lessons
and five hours later (which flew by), I left with more smiles and this time
with goodbye hugs and requests from the kids for me to come back soon. What
a great day!" - Ann
Lupo, LPCA
