Thursdays are my day to volunteer in Brandon's classroom. Every Thursday several children read to me. Most of the time it is the Italian children, many of whom don't have English speaking parents, or parents who speak very little English. This is their opportunity to practice their English reading skills.
It's a great time for me. I love listening and helping them learn new words. I even learn a few, since many of the books are British literature. I also get a chance to learn some new Italian words. The kids are always happy to teach what they know.
It's been a great experience. I love working with the children and have even begun entertaining ideas of what I can do in the future. There was a time when I wanted to become a teacher....
