This school year, I’ve had the wonderful experience of working with kindergarten kiddos and third graders. I spend a few hours every Monday at a wonderful charter school in Uptown New Orleans, doing different activities with each group.
In the third grade classroom, I mainly provide academic interventions with kiddos that especially benefit from a one-on-one teaching environment. Through these academic interventions, I’ve been able to get to know a few students very well, in addition to getting to know the class as a whole during group activities.
After spending time with the third grade, I head downstairs to spend the rest of the afternoon with a couple kindergarten classrooms. The majority of the time I’m working with kindergarteners I stay in one classroom, but once things get a little hectic at the end of the school day I pack up backpacks and pass out snacks wherever the extra help might be needed. Mondays can be quite long sometimes for the kindergarten lifestyle, so I’m always happy to bop around and ease the load.
I’ve been working at the same school for the past three semesters that I’ve been an RA in the Project DIRECT lab, and am so grateful for this opportunity. The time I spend each Monday with these students is absolutely the highlight of my week!
