This will help you understand how to read to the kids using the technology in place \nA few days BEFORE your assigned time slot you will need to go contact Ms. House and go to the United Way Building on Blanding Street to pick up the actual books you will read.  They will be the ones that are matched for your particular classroom \nA day before or on the day of the event Ms. House will be sending you a link to the teacher classroom online platform. Allow plenty of time to log in and get connected. \nREAD\, smile and enjoy the experience.  Remember you are serving as a role model for this classroom. Make sure your attire and background are appropriate\, ie. No beer bottles on the kitchen counter.  I am pretty sure that the arrival of a pet would be appreciated and get you lots of squeals of delight. \nA few reminders \nIf you don’t show up and connect you leave everyone hanging and it looks bad for the law school and the Pro Bono Program. And it disappoints the kids. \nIf a true emergency arrives\, let Ms. House and me know ASAP. \nRead with enthusiasm. Remember they can see you and can ‘read’ your cues! If you are not enjoying the experience\, they will also be bored. \nNo\, you cannot pick a school.  The MRC is in 27 different schools and has a very small staff.
