After plenty of preparation and teamwork, we are finally approaching the
start of Jumpstart, and I could not be more excited. Our materials are
coming together, our J for Jumpstart books are ready for presentation,
and my group cannot wait to get into the classroom to start making a
difference. Hopefully we can engage the kids in a way that sticks with
them beyond our time in the classroom this year, and I can only imagine
how happy I will be once the noticeable progress starts to set in.
Especially with an age group so young and impressionable, we have to do
our best to take advantage of their attention for the sake of
cultivating their ideas into something that helps them in the formative
years to come. On top of all of this, our team leader visited our site
and was able to tell us how energetic the children are in our classroom,
and I am sure that their boundless energy will act as a aid to the
teaching that will occur over the next few months!
