CLASSROOM HELPERS NEEDED
Can't get enough of the kids? Want to see what a day in the classroom is like? Now is your chance to visit one of our schools as a "teacher's aide for the day!"
Reading to Kids would like to offer the teacher at each school who recruits the most students to our reading clubs a helper for a day to encourage reading club attendance. Among other things, classroom helpers have the chance to read stories, grade papers, prep assignments, and experience what it's like to be a teacher.
If you are interested in helping out for a day or half day in one of the classrooms, please e-mail Rachel.Zwass@readingtokids.org or call the office at (310) 479-7455. Dates and times are flexible according to your availability.
