Working with Kids Opportunity – be a first grade reader – Liz Hull. My step daughter, Kelle Hull has 29 first graders this year at Freemont Elementary School. 20 of the new students are boys! She is looking for readers for her class this fall. In years past, I have been a reader for Kelle, and am reading for her again this year. The time commitment is 1 hour per week, needed in the mornings from 9:30 to 10:30 am. We work in small groups of 5 or 6 and may read stories, or help the students read stories, or do simple math in groups. The kids are – well – first graders! They are learning how to share, work together, sit still and wait for their turn as well as basic reading, writing and math. But where else can you earn 5 good hugs, pleads from children to come back soon and first grade wall art in just 1 hour of service time! Since Kelle has so many boys this year we are desperate for men to read. Please call me today to learn more! 209-649-4174.
