Kailyn Neese

Every Saturday available, I serve as a Coach from 4:00-6:30 pm. For one hour, I am coaching 5th/6th girls then for the rest of time allotted, I am with 2 year olds/Walkers. Doing this volunteering helps you learn how to manage environments and helps the parents to be able to go to service with a break from their children. I also used to do the full time of serving in the preschool based classrooms, where you truly have that classroom environment and lesson plan.

During the time of August through May, every three weeks, I would teach four hours in a preschool classroom with two other assistants. During this time, I would make original lesson plans, come up with activities, and manage the overall classroom environment, while mimicking real parent communication. This tied into our Para Praxis course, where we specialized in Paraeducator and eventually became certified through being a preschool assistant.
