Today, I went to the Riverview school to meet the kids and Mrs. McDowell, who is the spouse of one of the English teachers at Sturgis. Unfortunately, I was supposed to follow Mr. McDowell to the Riverview school, but lost him among the rain and traffic. I had to go back to school, and print out directions to Riverview. I still ended up lost for about half an hour because of the rain, and the fact that when 6A went through Barnstable, into Sandwich, the numbers changed, so I was looking for the school while I was still in Barnstable. On the brightside, I'll never forget how to get to the school again.
I ended up missing the kids because I didn't get to the school in time. However, I did meet Mrs. McDowell, who was very nice. She and I sat down and discussed what kids needed tutoring for, and what days would work best. We decided that Wednesday would probably be the main day for me to come to the school, and then I would come occasionally on other days. It seemed like a few kids wanted help preparing for the PSATs and SATs, but also for Drivers' ed, and one or two for math. One of the other students from Sturgis thought that she might want to tutor some of the kids for the PSATs and SATs, so I will probably do Drivers' ed. This is fine by me, and after I meet the kids and find out how much they already know about driving, hopefully I will be able to set some goals, including picking a date for them to go and get their learners' permits and maybe for a few, their licenses.
I'll go in next week, and meet a few of the kids.
