Reading 2 Recess

I had the opportunity to volunteer at Washington Montessori School again but this time I was with Pre-K and Kindergarten classes. I assisted the teacher by taking them to recess, reading to them, playing math games, and building with blocks. Recess was my favorite part because the kids had so much energy and they made me feel loved.

After recess, I read some of the children's favorite books to them. They loved listening to stories and were very engaged. Each time I come to Washington Montessori, it's always a great experience.

got to know the fifth graders, they were definitely my favorite class!

Volunteering at Washington Montessori School was an absolute delight. As a college student with no younger siblings or very young cousins, I was not accustomed to being around children on a regular basis. However, my time with the 5th-grade students was a truly refreshing and rewarding experience.
The children's energy was a constant source of joy. Helping the teacher prepare for lunch and participating in their recess activities, such as kickball and track, provided me with a glimpse into their daily lives and the joy they find in simple pleasures.

Beyond the physical activities, I cherished the opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations with the children. They were eager to learn about my college experience, and I found their questions and perspectives to be both insightful and heartwarming. Washington Montessori School was a reminder of the simple joys of childhood and the impact that we can have on the lives of young people.

Such a fun service event! loved getting to know the kids and teachers in the different grades
