The Y

This last Monday I volunteered at the Y's Accelerated Reader Program.  Basically how this works is you help kids from 1st to 4th grade read their AR books.  They have to read the books three times, one time you read it to them, then they read it to themselves, and then they read it to you so that you know they understand.  It's a really good program, but they definitely need more volunteers.  Amanda Frazier and I went on Monday when they have a smaller group and we were overwhelmed.  The ratio was about 5 to 1 of us, and we really could not effectively help these kids as much as I would have liked to simply because there were so many.  It was a lot of fun however, and I really enjoyed it.  Unfortunately, I couldn't go on Wednesday because I wasn't feeling well, but I am looking forward to going back next week.
