Tuesday Volunteer at Abbey Court

I am a Tuesday volunteer at Abbey Court. I did not know what to expect once I finally found the center (as I was lost for a few minutes :0) I did not know any of the kids when I got there but they were so excited to see me. Two of the little girls came up to me and wanted to know my name and how to write. I loved it! When then proceeded to write together and learn various words.

I then helped my Kimberly write a letter to a friend and look up some information about 'Day of the Day.' The kids gets attached very quickly and expect to see you everyday. I really wish I could visit the center more than just one day out of the week, so I could really help the kids and watch them grow. Tuesday when I went to the center there were not a lot of kids there and a lot of them said they either didn't have any homework or had already completed it. Mrs. Nancy from Scrogg's Elementary was also at the center on Tuesday and she had a great suggestion of what to do when the kids finished or didn't have any homework. We made the kids read at least two books to us, so that way we were still doing something constructive.

I am looking forward to going to the center this week! I hope more kids come and that were are able to help them out to the best of our ability.
