Volunteering in the classrooms

I had the chance to volunteer in Owen, Olivia and Jonah's classrooms this year. It was so much fun to see them at school with all their classmates and friends. They all have such great teachers. I tried to snap a picture with each of them on the last day I volunteered in their classes so I could remember. Here's what I was able to capture.

Starting with kid #1, Owen. I helped with Math groups in Owen's class. It was playing learning games with the kids to help them build their math skills. Mrs. Zisakis is so organized it was always easy and fun to help and great to watch all the kids and see their personalities. Charlotte tagged along with me, and with her iPad and headphones she was all set!

In Olivia's class I did both reading and math groups, depending on what her teacher, Mrs. Hamann needed. It is so fun to see my kids in the context of their classroom with their teacher and friends. It was so fun to volunteer in her class. Charlotte usually played with play-doh while we volunteered in Olivia's classroom. We volunteered for Science one day and had fun launching marshmallows with the catapults the kids made.

On our last day we got to help them with their ice cream party.

In Jonah's classroom we did all sorts of things, helped with reading, helped with wrapping mother's and father's day gifts, filing papers, cutting things out. Charlotte had fun playing with markers and all the fun manipulatives Mrs. Petersen had in her classroom.

Jonah would only stop moving for a nano second for me to take this picture, so I didn't get a great one, but I will take what I can get!
