How Much Longer?
At the after school tutoring program where I volunteer as a homework helper, the students are definitely anticipating the last day of class. There is a large white board in the main room and I smile when the afternoon early arrivals, usually elementary school kids, throw off their backpacks and make a beeline for the board. They jostle and tug, all hands reaching for the dry eraser and marker. Everyone is eager to be the one to update the exact number of days until the end of school. Just one more week remains in the countdown. During homework now, they wriggle, giggle and barely pay attention. Summer vacation is nearly here and soon their days will be their own again. Well, they might miss the snacks.
Book Excerpt
Maxzyne and the Old Horse Theatre
She strides toward the opposite end of the three-story building. To the right sits her locker, number 316. No point stowing her backpack until she knows what is going to happen. She looks wistfully at the bulletin board announcements posted outside Miss Miranda’s Spanish classroom. The tutoring schedule has several names penciled in the blanks. Her eyes slide past the Spanish sign-up sheet. They focus on a poster of tonight’s Festival of Lights parade, featuring the school’s majorettes.
