There were many children and youth who came to the tutoring and homework help afternoons ready to take on the New Year. Many new children and regular students made for a very busy month. A new AmeriCorps member could come in the morning and learn about what Bonni,the ESOL instructor, and I do here at the library. I showed her how I keep track of the students and how I am starting on the new data AmeriCorps provided for me. She also learned a lot from Bonni on how to get students active in class as her morning class is very close. Also, Sarah, another AmeriCorps volunteer, coming in the afternoon and helping with tutoring has continued to be incredibly helpful.The children love her and ask where she is if she is not here. She has made great one on one connections with some kids, specifically younger ones who need help in reading, as that is what she specializes in at her other site. She has been very helpful for me and the children. Another popular resource this month has been the free books. Since I have made it clearer that the donated books in my section of the library are free to the kids and they can take multiple home,they have been very popular. The children have loved looking through them and finding new ones for them to read at home. I have also been looking to Bonni and others for some advice as I am getting a couple kids who do not speak English well and therefore cannot read. January 2023 Monthly Report I Page 7 That has been difficult to navigate, but I have found different online and worksheet resources for them to use to practice reading and learning English. The sight words have been helpful, but I learned we have to start more at the basics of the alphabet. There were 57 children and youth who came to the library in January for tutoring and homework help, most of them coming at least two to three times a week. Many new children have taken full advantage of the program and continue to come every day for help on their homework. The majority of children who come are still between 1st and 5t"grade with most of them being in 3rd grade. There was one High Schooler who came in for help on math homework and an upcoming test and one Preschooler and seven Kindergarteners who loved the help on letters, basic math, and sight words. We had 15 new children come into the program which is the most we have had in a while and very exciting.The rest were"regulars" who continue to love the library and homework help. Math has continued to be the most popular subject for help on, but reading has also been popular this month with many students struggling with reading in general. For AmeriCorps, I am starting to log growth in a different way and it clearly shows a great amount of growth for students who have come back multiple times. I am looking forward to seeing where all of the students are by the end of the year. Overall, this was a very busy month with many new students, but it made me even more excited to see the growth over the rest of the year. The children are becoming more excited about learning and coming in and I am just as excited to see them. I cannot wait for February!
