Midday Volunteer
B
A
We
are
truly
better
together
and
so
with
sort
of
the
out-of-the-box
service
in
mind
today,
we'll
be
chatting
with
a
volunteer
who
is
literally
on
the
front
lines
supporting
our
students
joining
me
is
marlon
guevara,
a
mid-day
block
volunteer
at
crofton
elementary
school
welcome.
Marlon.
Thank
you
so
much
for
joining
me.
I
I
really
appreciate
it.
I
know
that
you
obviously
are
very
busy.
So
let's
get
out
start
out
with
just
sort
of
telling
me
you're
at
crofton.
Elementary.
B
Hi,
thank
you
for
having
me
so
I'm
marlon
and
I
have
two
kids
at
crofton
elementary
school,
and
I
help
with
the
midday
monitor.
I'm
I'm
with
one
of
the
classrooms
for
second
grade.
A
B
Always
I've
always
volunteered
in
the
classrooms.
Even
you
know
before
covid,
and
then
I
got
the
email
from
our
principal
that
you
know
we
were
starting
school
again
and
they
needed
midday
volunteers
to
help
so
that
the
teachers
could
one
get
a
break
lunch
break
and
two
for
them
to
have
a
period
quiet.
You
know
away
from
the
classroom
for
planning,
so
I'm
always
I'm
usually
in
the
in
the
classroom
every
year.
So
and
I
missed
it
so
I
I
took
that
opportunity
to
to
volunteer.
A
Awesome
awesome,
yeah.
I
know
that
a
lot
of
times
the
teachers
are
getting
together
too,
within
their
like
all
the
second
grade,
teachers
to
do
collaborative
planning,
so
it's
an
important
important
little
break
for
them,
plus
they
get
to
have
so
much
right.
So
so
you're
in
with
second
grade,
which
is
I
mean,
having
been
in
a
school
second
grade,
is
pretty
fun
and
you
have
a
second
grader.
So
you
know
a
lot
about
second
graders.
A
So
what
for
our
friends
at
home
that
just
have
have
no
idea
what
this
this
looks
like
it's
been
such
a
strange
year.
What
what
does
it
look
like?
What
does
that
day
or
that
two
hour
period?
Look
like
for
you?
Can
you
just
sort
of
walk
us
through.
B
Yeah
sure
sure,
so,
I'm
in
the
classroom,
where
I
have
I
have
the
kids
for
about
an
hour
and
a
half.
So
I
go
in
I
check
in
you
know
I
sanitize
my
hands,
wear
a
mask
the
whole
time
and
then
I,
when
I
get
to
the
classroom,
the
kids
are.
Usually,
you
know,
excited
to
see
me
because
you
know
I
know
a
lot
of
the
kids
from
actually
kindergarten
and
they're
second
grade
now
so
I've
I've
had
these
kids
for
for
a
little
while
and
we
do
30
minutes
of
recess.
B
So
we
we
go
outside
if
it's
not
too
cold
and
we
have
each
class
has
a
bin
with
you
know
with
their
balls,
they
have
jump
ropes,
they
have
hula
hoops
chalk
and
we
take
that
outside
and
we're
outside
for
about
30
minutes,
and
we
let
the
kids
just
run
around
and
you
know
try.
We
try
to
keep
them
six
six
feet
apart,
while
they're
outside.
Sometimes
it's
a
little
difficult.
B
You
know
kids,
but
they
do
they
do
a
really
good
job
of
you
know
just
keeping
their
mask
on
then.
After
those
30
minutes
we
come
back
in.
I
have
them
all
wash
their
hands
and
then
we
distribute
lunches
and
we've
been
so
so
fortunate
to
to
have
lunches
provided
by
you,
know,
anne
arundel
county
to
all
the
students.
B
So
even
if
they
bring
their
lunches,
they
still
get
a
lunch
from
from
the
school
and
we
you
know
lunch
is
about
another
30
minutes
and
then
we
do
a
literacy
for
the
last
30
minutes.
I
usually
read
a
book
and
we
we
talk
about
the
book
and
that's
yeah,
it's
about
it's
about
an
hour
and
a
half
that
I'm
there.
B
A
It
sounds
like
a
good
way
of
keeping
them
engaged,
so
then
you,
you
also
said
that
they
that
they're
really
good
about
about
keeping
their
masks
on
and
that
you
all
go
outside.
So
so,
when
you
go
outside,
do
you
have
different
parts
of
the
playground
that
you're
going
on?
How
does
that
work,
or
only
your
class
goes
out
at
one
time.
B
No,
we
have
there's,
there
are
several
classes
but
they've
breaking
up
like
the
bus
bus
loop
is
broken
up
into
two
different
sections,
so
one
class
will
have
the
you
know
the
top
of
the
bus
loop.
Another
class
will
have
the
lower
half
another
class
will
be
in
the
basketball
court.
So
we
still
stay
within
our.
You
know
our
small
group
there.
A
B
A
This
awards
cohort
so
they're.
They
just
stay
within
their
cohort
on
the
playground,
but
they
bring
out
different
materials,
and
so
then
are
they
are
they
in?
You
may
have
said
this
so
they're
in
different,
like
one
day
they
might
be
in
this
part
of
the
playground
and
another
day
they're
in
this
part.
B
Correct
yeah,
they
do,
you
know,
go
to
different
sections
of
the
playground.
Last
week
we
were
on
the
basketball
court.
This
week
we
were
like
in
the
in
the
bus
loop,
so
the
kids
really
enjoy
it.
You
know
we'll
we'll
do
today
we
did
relay
races,
but
we
couldn't
touch
each
other,
so
it
was.
It
was
interesting
to
try
to
do
you
know
what
we
normally
would
do,
but
we
have
to
be
careful
with
the
six
feet.
B
Distance
and
I
always
have
my
hand
sanitizer,
so
I'm
always
telling
them
to
sanitize
outside
so
they're,
really
good
about
what
surprised
me
the
most
was
that
they're
really
good
about
wearing
the
mask.
So
I
don't
know
if
they
have
practice,
I'm
thinking
they
have
practice
at
home
or
but
most
kids,
that's
not
an
issue.
You
know
they
know
that
they
have
to
keep
their
mask.
They
wear
it
properly,
so
it's
covering
their
nose
and
their
mouth.
B
So
I'm
surprised
that
you
know
these
six
or
seven
seven-year-olds
eight-year-olds
are
really
good
about
wearing
their
masks.
Some
of
them
are
even
better
than
some
of
us.
Adults
actually.
B
A
Were
about
that
and
then
also
their
ability
to
just
be
really
creative
on
the
playground
like
they
just
took
turns,
and
they
figured
out
how
to
play
that.
You
know
they
just
I
think,
maybe
they
just
they're
just
happy
to
be
to
be
back
and
and
they're
willing
to
to
to
be
team
players.
So
that's
really
neat,
so
I
love
that
you
talked
about
about
reading
stories
and
keeping
the
kids
engaged
and
it
makes
me
think,
is
there
anything
that
really?
I
think
this
has
been
three
weeks
now
right.
A
Anything
that
really
sticks
out.
I
don't
know,
maybe
about
being
there
with
your
own
child
or
your
relationship
with
these
kids
or
anything
that
really
sticks
out
to
you.
B
For
me
is
just
seeing
you
know
I
they're
all
wearing
their
mask,
but
the
minute
I
walk
into
the
classroom.
They
know
my
name.
They
say:
hi,
miss
guevara
hi,
miss
g,
just
that
they're
so
happy
to
to
to
get
a
break
from
you
know
the
computer
and
everything
sitting
in
the
computer
all
morning
long.
I
think
that
just
makes
it
worthwhile
for
me
not
only
my
child,
you
know
is
happy
to
to
see
me,
but
all
the
other
kids
too,
so
yeah.
B
B
She
andrea
she's
in
second
grade
yeah.
A
I'm
sure
she'll
be
talking
about
this.
You
know
even
when
she's
grown
up
at
the
time
my
mom
came
and
helped
out.
So
that's
really
awesome.
I
wanted
to
ask
you
one
other
question.
You
mentioned
the
lunches
and
even
if
the
kids
bring
a
lunch
that
they're
also
receiving
a
lunch
and
I've
I've
seen
some
of
these
lunches
that
are
just
really
awesome
with
vegetables
and
and
all
kinds
of
of
things.
So
do
those
kids
do
they
just
take
the
lunch
home
with
them?
Then.
B
Sometimes
they'll
take
the
lunch
home
and
other
times.
They'll.
Do
you
know
part
of
the
home
lunch
and
then
part
of
the
school
lunch?
Let's
say
you
know
if
they
get
something
from
the
school
and
then
they
pack
up
all
their
things
that
they
don't
like
or
they
they
that
that
they
don't
want
or
don't
like
and
then
they'll
put
them
away
and
we'll
send
them
home
so
that
you
know
the
parents
can
do
whatever
it
is
that
they
want
with
the
with
the
lunches
and
then
they
also
get
dinner.
B
So
my
kids
are
coming
home
with
with
with
dinner,
also
which
is
really
nice,
because
you
know
we
I've
been
using
the
vegetables
to
cook,
you
know
dinner
with
so,
but
they
get
breakfast
lunch
and
dinner.
A
Well,
that's
what
I
heard
too,
because
I
had
the
picture
I
saw.
I
think
there
was
spinach
and
some
carrots
and
someone
said
that
they
were
getting
really
creative
and
how
they
were
making
dinner
out
of
the
things
that
were
sent
so
yeah.
So
it's
really
quite
an
opportunity
for
all
of
us
to
to
get
some
new
dinner
ideas
so
yeah
and.
B
It's
interesting
right
and
it's
a
good
opportunity.
The
principal
at
our
school
had
sent
a
message
saying
you
know
this
is
a
good
opportunity
for
a
child
to
try
new
things.
Maybe
they
don't
you
know
like
zucchini
or
maybe
they
don't
like
carrots.
Well,
this
is
you
know
to
your
opportunity
to
just
explore
different
vegetables,
or
you
know,
you
know
different
food
options,
so
yeah.
A
Yeah,
no,
I
think
it's
great,
I
think
it's
great
well.
I
cannot
thank
you
enough
for,
for
what
you're
doing
and
how
you're
supporting
your
school
and
and
the
kids
and,
like
I
said
your
daughter,
will
always
remember
this.
It
really
is
appreciated
because
I
mean
across
the
board.
I
know
all
the
schools
really
need
to
help
and
need
the
support
and
and
want
this
break,
to
be
a
positive
experience
for
the
kids
and
and
just
like,
you
said
when
you
come
in
their
smiles
and
and
they
want
to
build
relationships.
A
So
it's
it's
really
appreciated,
and
I
appreciate
all
the
volunteers
out
there
that
are
that
are
doing
this
work.
This
is
not
easy
and
I
think,
we're
all
all
happy
to
get
back
to
some
some
bit
of
normal.
B
Yeah,
I'm
really
grateful
for
the
opportunity.
You
know
I
saw
this
an
opportunity
not
just
to
help
my
child,
but
also
to
help
the
teachers
and
the
administrators,
because
it's
it's
difficult.
They
couldn't
get
subs
for
all
these
different
classrooms,
so
they,
you
know
they
filled
in
the
gaps
with
volunteers,
and
I'm
just
grateful
that
I'm
able
to
help
out
to
you
know
to
provide
for
the
little
help
that
I
can
to
to
these
kids
and
in
our
community
yeah.
It's
good
stuff.
A
All
right
well,
thank
you.
It
was
so
nice
to
meet
you.
We
we
truly
appreciate
you
and
and
all
the
marvelous
volunteers
out
there
making
a
difference
because
we
really
couldn't
do
it
without
you.
So
thanks
and
and
and
thank
you,
viewers
and
possibly
volunteers
for
joining
us
see
you
next
time.
