When I went into another class to help when there was another mentor that was scheduled to be in the same class as me. 4 kids were in the back of the room doing what they wanted rather than sitting on their carpet square. The teacher was inexperienced and wasn’t getting any help from the district The teacher assigned some math work. I asked if I could take kids in small groups to the back to finish and offer stickers for finishing a minimum of work which she said ok so that’s what I did and when I kept going back the kids were eager to work with me
