Our+School+Schedule

=Typical school day=

Our standard school hours are:

I need your help: during the class time to work with the students 10 to15 minutes before class begins to discuss the project, set up the activity, and allow for your practice time 5 to 10 minutes after class ends to help wrap up the activity, answer your questions, and get feedback

Each month I'll contact you with my time requests for the upcoming month via phone or email. You can let me know if any of those times fit into your schedule or if you prefer that I find another volunteer to help out with those times. I understand that things do come up. We can stay in touch to communicate any changes to our schedules (delayed openings, unexpected assemblies, sick children, etc).

Some days I'll have classes back-to-back. That is, only 3 minutes between classes; but we can talk really, really quickly and I'll try to have everything written up for you to read to help with the setup. If it is the volunteer time we scheduled please feel free to walk into the classroom even if I have a class in the room.

And, be warned, on some especially exciting days I might be 'double booked'; that is, have a class of 1st graders and a class of 5th graders. (Or any combination of little kids and big kids...) The older students will have an adult with them; this 'double booking' rarely happens but sometimes older students need the lab to complete a project. The teachers here are flexible about computer use; and in my experience it works out. The older students are usually charmed by the little ones.
