Rambunctious Kids

Thursday, February 17th 2011

Back at SMART today, the kids were rambunctious! I think they must have just finished gym class or something.

I had a difficult time getting my student to focus on the book he picked out and asked me to read. It's an interesting feeling to be a volunteer trying to help out because how much can you try to make the kids sit down and mind you? I don't think they want me scolding the boy, but at the same time, it's a waste of time to sit there while he does everything but read in the 30 minutes I have with him. I did my best to be patient and just start reading to him, rather than him reading to me.

I ended up reading the book quickly cover to cover and then he was excited to get to the "I Spy" book full of hidden pictures we have to look for. Maybe I don't like that book too much because I have a hard time finding the hidden items?

Peace :)
