For two of my summers as a college student, I worked as a playground recreation leader for LAUSD. I had fond memories myself of going to the playground in the summertime, so it didn't seem a lot like work. We did have a weekly inservice on Wednesdays, but they were fun and instructive. In fact, the first time I went, I was in a group with my former 4th grade teacher - was really great to re-connect.
I also coached the 6th grade girls volleyball team - me, the non-athlete, coaching a team. But it was fun - I got a book and found out the rules - and instructed the girls - they were good - they just needed a cheerleader.
I am grateful for a summer of fun and learning - and these little girls came to my wedding reception later that year!
