Tutoring

We have begun a new program. We are tutoring in the precario two times a week. It's been really good for me. I didn't realize how much I have missed teaching. I am really trying to hold back as much as possible and just be a resource for the girl that's in charge. She is in college and majoring in pre school education. She is doing a great job organizing everything. I am just around when there are too many kids or one of them is having a problem. She is also trying to learn what kinds of materials are good to have. It's been lots of fun. We worked with a little girl Wednesday who is 6 years old and isn't in school yet. Her mother took her to register for school and they told her there wasn't any more room and to try again next year. That happens a lot to the kids in the precario. No one wants them because they are illegal. Her name is Guadalupe and we are trying to make sure that if there is room for her next year she is not far behind her peers.
