Now that we are in our third week of after-school tutoring at both 826LA East and 826LA West, we have a steady stream of 20 to 30 students per day. We find ourselves working with some students who have been coming in since the beginning of after-school tutoring, students we haven't seen since last spring, students from summer ELL Camp who are back for more, and a handful of brand-new ones! As the students get settled into the writing lab, they’ve been noticing a few changes we've made over the past several months--a couple new computers, a new board game, a newly organized library of books, newly painted walls, new homework logs to fill out... As for us, we've seen homework involving everything from place values to idioms to hominids, and lots of post-homework writing projects about scary outer space stories and the reasons why students and tutors alike love pizza oh-so-much. With all of this reading, 'riting, and ‘rithmitic going on for the rest of the school year, we can always use plenty more tutors! Email iwanttohelp@828la.org to find out how to volunteer.
