If there was a way that the kids could interact with the games and books that we read them, rather than us doing it all on our screens.

# data[].attributes.body
even just talking at the end of each session about what we were doing, how to improve was really helpful and reassuring

it was confusing at times which lesson plans to follow and what exactly to work on. Mostly because I am not familiar with how well 1st graders should be able to read, what words/sounds they should know, etc. so it was hard to come up with activities and know that the level was appropriate

# data[].attributes.body
My mentee and I did a lot of educational activities together, and the most memorable would be the starter conversations we had each week. My mentee is a storyteller just like me and loved to share stories about her life which I thoroughly enjoyed. She will always remain in my thoughts and I wish her well from the bottom of my heart.

# data[].attributes.body
More interactions between mentee-mentor pairs to get the kids interacting because from what I have heard they are struggling with getting to know classmates in regular class while online. :(

# data[].attributes.body
