We had a great start to our fall programs here in Orlando at Palmetto Elementary. We have 33 kids in the program to start with a few familiar faces- namely some younger brothers and sisters of kids that were in our program last year. This year we started some new parts of our program with Palmetto as we not only help the kids with their homework but we are also working on teaching the kids how to properly prepare and study for tests, and helping the kids prepare for the FCAT tests in the spring. This is Florida's standardized testing procedure for all schools and will make a huge impact in helping the kids prepare for the tests.
After the kids did their homework today, we talked about the meaning of "team," the importance of being a good teammate and how being a teammate can help them in lots of areas, not just volleyball. The kids had a great time today and we're looking forward to next week
