I found a website about the Children's Home of Lubbock. Basically they have opportunities for you to go and volunteer by organizing events for the children or just spending time with them. I am sure that if you called them, they would love for student-teachers to come out and organize tutoring times for kids who want help with school work.

There are a lot of things that you can learn about kids and being a teacher just by spending time with these children... even if you are not teaching them at the time, you would be surprised at how much you can learn.

Thanks for posting this Katie! I think this would be a wonderful idea and I am considering it if there is nothing going on at Alderson.
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful idea! These children could benefit tremendously from us coming out there and just listening! Plus we could read with them!
ReplyDeleteA great way to share your time! Good idea. How could you turn this into a service learning project for middle level students? Maybe let them do some peer tutoring, to help their with own curriculum objectives?
ReplyDeleteI really like that Idea! I have a personal connection with Buckner , not necessarily a children's home. I think this would be an awesome experience especially for our Service Learning Project!
