I have been volunteering at my son's school daily from 12:30-3:15.
I have done most of my work in the media center (so much work constantly needs to be done there).
One afternoon in a first grade classroom...I did random tasks off a list the teacher had and then when she taught a writing lesson I picked up my chair and sat next to the English Language Learner who really needs constant 1 on 1 help (she is a cutie but she is a handful and is generally either wandering around fulfilling her own agenda or glued to the teacher). The teacher didn't ask me to do this but I saw it needed to be done and just jumped in.
One day I did health screenings. A charity came and screened the entire student population's vision. The process needed volunteers to help shuffle the students in and out in a quick and orderly manner.
I would like to be in the classrooms more but the teachers have to ask for the help. But they see me in the media center and know that I am available.
There are about 3 school volunteers. One is the mom of the media specialist and is 87 years old and there M-Thursday. One is the daughter of a staff member. I am sure there are a few others that volunteer but I haven't met them yet.
