Question

1.) I am a Cadette in Girl Scouts and we are working on our Silver Badge. We have to do something involving 'leadership'. I was thinking about tutoring and teaching younger kids with math and language arts at the public library. (Like ages 4-6) Do you think that library would let me hang up flyers or pass out brochures about it at their library and let me teach them there? If not, then where else could I do it?

2.) Is it a good idea to do that for the silver badge? What are some other options I could do instead of that that involves younger kids? Do you think I could help out at a daycare, maybe? See, I like to work with younger kids and I also like to teach. So that is what I was thinking when I thought about teaching and tutoring younger kids.

3.) If I do teach younger kids, where can I get good worksheets and lesson plans? Where can I get good ideas about things to do with them?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Ask at your local library, if you can volunteer to read to small children on a certain day. If they will let you, them make flyers and put them around the neighborhood. A day care might also let you volunteer to read to the children.

Answer 2

Go to your local library with a note from your Girl Scout leader. You need to be fully prepared when you go to the library to ask permission to tutor and teach the children. You should take along your lesson plan - that is have a written plan of what you would are going to teach the children in the short time you have with them, what process and tools you are going to use to get your lesson across to them, how long it is going to take, the size of the area you will need for this class, etc.

You sound like a young person with a wonderful head on your shoulders. I think this is a great idea for a Silver Badge.

You can get worksheets and lesson plans either from the Web (here's a good site to start with http://www.holcombs.com/)or go to your local office supply or school supply retail outlet.

Good luck to you. I hope you persue your idea.

Answer 3

Very young children need to learn through play. Sitting them down and
quizing them on facts will not work. Make up a learning game, something
with picture cards, or pictures and a song to go along with it would be
great. You may have trouble getting permission to do this in a daycare,
as volunteers need to have a clear police check, and this will take time.
Go ahead and call the library, or a local daycare centre. They will let
you know what you need to do.

Answer 4

Not at a library, that wouldn't work most likely. Try a homeless shelter or comminity center, and find a student there through a coordinator of some sort. Go for an hour or so per week and help them with any homework they might have, and answer their questions. That way there will be little preperation.

Answer 5

Contact your local elementary school and see if they have after school services that provide homework help or tutoring. They will be more than happy for your help and the younger kids will love it.
