Service Blog 11/17/10

Today was a simple day at my service site. All the students were pretty calm and a lot different than normal. As soon as I arrived, my usual fifth grade girls called me over to help them. They had very little homework this today. I helped one girl finish her social studies and math worksheets. After all the students finished their homework, I played Uno with some other students. Once that game got old, one girl asked if she could read a book to me. She seemed like she was in third or fourth grade, but she definitely struggled with simple words. I definitely noticed and achievement gap in her studies. The other students seem to be better readers than her.
