Parent Volunteers!
        g
Thank you!
          Did you know that students love to see their parents in the classroom?  Come and volunteer!  It's a great way to see your child in the classroom setting and get to know our class!  Are you very busy?  Come once a month, once a quarter, or even once a year.  Volunteering can be rewarding for you, as well as exciting and beneficial for your child.  Research shows that students whose parents help out at school have a better attitude and higher academic achievement. 
 
Here are some ways to be a part of your child's second grade year:

 a  Sunshine math volunteers sNEW!!!
 a  Tutor (math and/or reading)
 a  Be a Book Buddy (Listen to kids read)
 a  Lunch Helpers
 a  Chaperone field trips
 a  Help with activities in the classroom
 a  Class parties and celebrations
 a  Bulletin Board Designer
 a  Donate "wish list" items for our class
 a  Talk to our class about a topic that you know a lot about (your  job, special hobby or talent, different country, different culture... the list is endless)!  Second graders think most every job is interesting, so I can pretty much guarantee, you'll have a captive audience. 
 
Just e-mail me if you are interested in volunteering!  You are always welcome!
