Live Oak Reflection

My assistance with the teachers at Live Oak has been the same. I helped the students that needed the most help in the class. Since Live Oak is an alternative school some of the students have already finished attaining their credits and are just waiting for graduation. This leaves only a handful of students in each class. I helped the most in Ms. G’s class with a student finishing up with his government class. The student was working on a test and I read the questions and answers aloud for them.
