Service-Learning Checklist 

download a copy of this list in Microsoft Word

          Take the Introductory Memo to the Teacher. Fill in the teacher’s name and your information and leave it with the teacher you’ve been assigned.

          Take your Service-Learning Partnership agreement with you. Ask the teacher to read and sign it. You can leave it with her if you need to; a copy is due back to me on Thursday, February 16.

          Sign in on the school’s volunteer log, a legal-sized notebook that says VIP at the top. It’s on the counter right in front of the office.

          Make sure to fill in your hours and have the teacher initial on your Student Project Log (which will be in the purple binder on the counter in front of the office, unless you visit the school before Tuesday afternoon, in which case you’ll have to take it with you). Make sure that you fill in both a sign-in and a sign-out time. Leave the log in the purple binder. (If you go before Tuesday, the binder won’t be there, so bring the Project Log to class with you Tuesday morning).

          Make sure you ask the child to pronounce his or her name, and take the time to learn it (you wouldn’t want someone to mispronounce your name!)

          Spend some time getting to know the child and let him/her get to know a little bit about you.

          Have fun! If you can convince even one child that learning/reading/school can be fun, you will have already done a terrific job.
