As teachers, WE are always the ones planning, coordinating, running, and cleaning up at school events. Being a first-time mom, it's always so exciting {and SUPER surreal} for ME to be the parent volunteer at Grayson's school. I-LOVE-IT!! I find it's always great to have multiple perspectives, and now being able to speak with and relate to my students' parents as BOTH a parent and a teacher is unbelievably life-changing and valuable!
I've enjoyed volunteering at Gray's Mother's Day tea, Little Chef's exploration day (where I created chef-themed centers & volunteered in his room), and this week at his end-of-summer carnival. They were all incredibly fun experiences and I LOVE interacting with the ADORABLE kiddos in his class. More importantly, it forms a great bond between Grayson, his fabulous teachers, and myself.
QUESTION: Are you ever able to serve as the PARENT VOLUNTEER instead of always playing the role of the teacher? If so, what have been YOUR favorite parent volunteer events? Class parties? Field trips? Story time? PLEASE SHARE!
