CIS

Last Wednesday, I finally had the chance to volunteer in McNamara Elementary. I volunteered for a couple of hours tutoring students in science, math, and english. The tutoring took place afterschool  and the students seemed really excited to have us there. They participated eagerly and asked questions about their homework. The experience went very well and I am really looking forward in making it even a greater experience next time.

I am very excited to volunteer for the first time in McNamara Elementary school this Wednesday. We got an email from the CIS from that elementary saying that we could start volunteering this Wednesday. We are going to volunteer for two hours in the afternoon. We are going to start off by tutoring students in different areas they are having trouble with, especially with science. I am really looking forward to Wednesday!

Yesterday I had the opportunity to visit the school that I am going to volunteer in. The school is McNamara Elementary School. It was a great experience to walk around the school in order to become acquainted with the campus. I am very excited to tutor students in science and we are also going to start a garden project at the elementary. Before I start volunteering, I have to get trained and hopefully that will take place the week after spring break. I am really looking forward to this experience.
