Have you seen any growth in the children you read to? Especially in regard to any excitement about books?<\/p>\n<p>When I first started reading at the daycare, there were a number of students where were too shy to interact with the stories. By the 5th story time, they were sharing stories about their week, their vacations, and their favourite colours with me between books (and sometimes during stories). I was able to see the students come out of their shells bit by bit!<\/p>\n<p>3. Can you think of a funny story from during your time volunteering with us?<\/p>\n<p>During one of my story times , a student turned to her friends and said \u2018Quiet! Teacher is reading!\u2019 while I was mid sentence.<\/p>\n<p>4. Is there anything that has surprised you (related to your volunteer experience with us, yourself, etc.)?<\/p>\n<p>I was surprised at how excited the students would get every time I came in for story time. They would say \u2018teacher is here!\u2019 And then run to the reading spot.<\/p>\n<p>5. How do skills you practice during your time volunteering with us help you in other areas of your life?<\/p>\n<p>Volunteering with Minibiblioplus reminds me to slow down once in a while and be present in the moment and not always think of what needs to be done.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Audrey Carbone \u00a0\u00a0We are delighted to announce our new volunteer of the month for October, Audrey!
