I could not be one of the Art Vista volunteers in Logan’s class as the teacher prefers Fridays for the lessons.  But instead I signed up to be a classroom helper on Mondays.  I will be helping the class while the teacher leads a writing workshop in the afternoon.  Mrs. Williams asked me to show up yesterday at 1pm, and I was excited to start. But as soon as I walked in to the classroom, I saw a substitute teacher running the class.  An aide told me that Mrs.Williams was out for a small emergency.  The class was quietly doing some work.  Logan looked up and gave me a smile.  After I said hi to that teacher, she asked me to grade the spelling test.  So I stayed on the side grading while watching the class.  When the kids were finished with the assignment, Logan came up to give me a hug.  I later distributed the tests and learned the kids’ names.  After the test, the sub did not need more help, so I was dismissed.  With the holiday coming up on Monday soon, my first real helping shift will be in two weeks.
