Reviews

Classroom assistant

June 2018 - August 2018 Chicago, IL
“I enjoyed working with a diverse group of children as well as teachers. I have had the opportunity to read to the children and watch them become active learners during Circle Time. Aside from teaching them, I also encouraged them to be active by playing tagging with them and chasing them on the playground.”
