I enlisted to do something that I haven’t done probably in years–volunteer. The last time I remember volunteering on a consistent basis was back when I was 11 & 12 years old. I spent those two summers volunteering at the nursing home where my parents work. While I have volunteered my time for other short term (very short term) efforts, it’s been a hot minute since I’ve done something long-term.
Until now. I’ll be spending some time on Tuesday mornings at my church’s affiliated school. (Did that sentence even make sense??). I’m supposed to be reading to the junior kindergarten/kindergarten class. This would be neat because it will help to expose Jamayia to the school setting, and get her playing with other kids. They a couple years older than her (most of them are 4 years old, a couple are 5 years old).
This is also a great way to evaluate the school for myself. Jamayia will be entering kindergarten in two years, and we need to figure out just where she’s going to attend and why. I’m very grateful for this chance to scope it out before she’s on the doorstep of kindergarten. No pressure this way.
