This summer, I'm doing a lot of different work over for my Summer of Service. I'm starting out at Woodward Avenue Elementary school to finish off the school year with the class I volunteer with during the year. The past two weeks have been really crazy with the kids. I've been going for full days and helping out with everything. I help the girls during lessons with reading and assignments. We have some ESE children that need to have their tests read to them, so I work on that as well. I do A LOT of grading, but that's what my teacher needs so it's worth it. Since it's the end of the year, the kids are constantly busy with parties and other events that are outside the classroom so we've been really flexible.
I've really enjoyed getting to work with the girls on a daily basis now, which is something I don't get the opportunity to do throughout the year because of time. I have made a great relationship with one little girl who I plan to work with over summer. I am also working on setting up a position with Haven Recovery and I've been trying to fill out all of the paperwork with them now. It's slow going though because of fingerprints, employee paperwork, and finding a specific job for me to do. Hopefully by the time I get back from SLI we'll be ready to go!
