DS5's Kindergarten teacher told us at the curriculum night that she LOVES parent volunteers and when she gets them, she doesn't want them copying papers or doing other office work but wants them actually working at the different tables hands on with the kids. I wish I could volunteer just to get an idea of what the days are like but can't since I have my 3 year old who always tags along anywhere I go. Younger siblings unfortunately are not allowed ... in class or field trips either.
