When coach first told us that we were going to be tutoring elementary school children, my first thought was, "Ok, this is going to be bad for me; I don't know how to tutor!" Then she said that we could either tutor or assist the gym teacher. So I chose to assist the gym teacher.
In gym class, I learned many different things that I never knew or learned about in elementary school. For example, they learned about the names of bones of the body. It amazed me how they could name them, and they are just first graders!
I really enjoyed this experience. Seeing them laugh and smile when the teacher brought out a new game to play made me smile because I remember how much I loved gym class in elementary school. Everyone should volunteer and help students to succeed at a local school. I think it would be a great experience, especially if you have never done it before.
