Kyla- LINC- 2nd Visit

Viviane, Nora and I had arrived at the McDonalds in Harlem at 4:00 pm.  We stood waiting, looking around to see if there was anyone there we recognized from Literacy Incorporated, but there wasn’t.  We walked through the McDonalds and a woman sitting said to us, “Hello.  Why do you guys looked so scared?”  We all looked at each other trying to figure out who she was and why she was talking to us.  “Well, I’m Miss D.” she said, “She’ll be here in a minute she just had to pick up the kids.”  We all stayed standing until the seats around Miss D. were empty.  We sat and waited, were were talking about how long it was going to be until the kids arrived and also about how fat Viviane was because she’d just eaten a bag of popcorn and cookies and she still had food in her bag for later.  The woman finally arrived with the kids and we all went into a room that wasn’t that far away.  We helped Miss D. move the tables into the corner then we set up the chairs for the little kids.  After that we sang  The Wheels on the Busand then we broke up into our groups.  Each of us had about 5 kids to read to.  After each of us read at least 2 books we moved the chairs to the side and we sang some more songs and took a few pictures.  Once that was over the kids started eating and then we left the McDonalds.
