Yesterday, March 6th, members of the writing center spent their lunch periods in the classrooms of Ms. Keller, Ms. McDonough, and Ms. McElroy working with their first grade students. The week before, each tutor or pair of tutors exchanged letters with a first grader as a way to get to know each other.
Upon arriving to the clasroom, I was directed towards an adorable little girl in a neon pink headband named Alexis. Shy at first, Alexis came out of her shell after Caroline and I began to ask her questions and got to know her better. She told us all about going down the slide with her mom at the park, playing "shark tag" with her friends at recess and painting pictures of her three dogs in her spare time. We were able to help Alexis elaborate when describing her experiences so she could make her story even better.
Caroline and I had a great time working with Alexis and everyone else in the room looked like they were having so much fun with their adorable first graders. The time went by so quickly, it hardly even felt like 45 minutes.
