Volunteers TO READ TO THE CHILDREN

Description

Children of all ages enjoy having an interested adult read to them. This past year the only time a volunteer could come in was on a Friday afternoon. I thought that this was the worse possible time as the children had been in school all week and I thought it would never work. Because the volunteer was so enthusiastic, i decided to try it and to my surprise the children looked forward each week and always wanted to know if it was their groups turn. the volunteer stopped by for a visit one day and several children ran up to her hoping that it would be their turn. I learned a great deal from that experience. Don't underestimate the children.
