Homework HELP!

Every Tuesday and Thursday from 2:30-4:00pm we have our Homework HELP! program.  The kids come over to the church after school and get their homework done first thing, that way they don't have to worry about it the rest of the night.  At Homework HELP! we as staff are there to answer questions and explain anything the kids are having a hard time understanding.  Though I tend to have a hard time with the math homework, it is a great program and I am even learning along with the kids!
Most days our student to adult ratio is 1/1 or 2/1.  The kids come in, eat a snack and then work on their homework until it is done.
Some of our kids really enjoy writing on the white board!  In order to help them keep focused, we try to incorporate different methods and ways for them to do their homework.  
One of our team members, Nelia, is really good at working with the younger kids.  She is very creative and finds fun exciting ways to keep the kids moving and interacting while learning!
If the kids are done with their homework before 3:30 then we have homework sheets or learning activities that we provide them.
If they are done with their homework at 3:30 they get to play games and color.
