Day 8- Education


Only the educated are free.

Epictetus




Today I voluteered at Kennesaw Charter Science & Math Academy in one of the Kindergarten rooms.  As you can imagine, a room full of 15-20 6 year olds can get a little crazy at times!  In order to allow the teacher to work more effectively with small groups of students, I voluteered during literacy centers.  The kids are divided up into 4-5 different centers to work on different literacy skills.  I have volunteered here before, and it always makes me feel like i'm making a difference when the kids are actually happy to find out that Mrs. Hall, or 'Heather' is coming into the class.  I saw a lot of creativity, helped with a few meltdowns, and make sure glue caps got put back on.  LOL.  Seriously though, if you have not volunteered with the future of America yet, now is the time.  Schools across the country are usually quite happy to get fresh blood in the building :) 





Good teaching is one-fourth preparation and three-fourths theater.
