I made my way back to Read-with-Me again. (I made a stop at Dollop on my way. I love trying out new, independent coffee shops.) It was a bit more challenging this time (reading the same book at the same time with a 1st grader and a 3rd grader). But still very fun.
When I first arrived and found a seat among the other volunteers (most of them seemed to be in a sorority). They wanted to chat with each other so I waited until Hector arrived and went over to chat with him. He told me a lot about his life. He's such a sweet kid. (I swear he's missing 3 of his front teeth.)
I worked with Hector and Desiree reading a couple books and making a mobile for them to recall key points in the story.
Oh boy did we have fun!!!
And can you say glitter? There was glitter, feathers, streamers everywhere. Hector seemed to think it was appropriate for me to do all the dirty work, which was ok with me ;)
As we were leaving Desiree said she made a picture of a flower for me. Aww how sweet.
Then Hector gave me his name tag so I can remember him (even though I came up to him right when he sat down and said, "Hey Hector." And he remembered me too...). I said I can't forget him.
Then Desiree gave me her name tag too.
And this is the final product.
It didn't make for fun errands with the wet glitter, but it was definitely worth it =)
Yes, it's hanging on my refrigerator.
