My first solo visit was at the Mentoring for Academic Progress program at the South Street Ministry in Orlando.  MAP is an afterschool program for students in grades K-5 who are bused from a nearby elementary school.  Even though the group was small, it was challenging because the kids ranged in age from kindergarten to fifth grade. The other challenge was working with a small group in a large room – quite different from working with students who sit in orderly rows of desks. Challenges aside, what fun I had back in my role as Professor Plot. I hadn’t really realized how much I missed using my creative wits to draw kids into the wonderful world of books. It felt great to be back in the saddle!
