Last week was great! We did so many neat things together.
Monday was our first Mentor Monday! The mentees hung out with Ms. Tiffany and I had the pleasure of spending time with my mentors. We talked about their goals as mentors, the importance of mentoring, and gave me insight on what YESS was like last year. We had a great time together and the mentees loved their Monday too!
Tutoring Tuesday was a success and on Wednesday I taught Today I Choose... We talked about how things that are repeatedly told to us or that we tell ourselves, sticks with us both positive and negative things. We all agreed that if we started each day on a positive note we may see changes in our mindset and our actions. The kids filled circle maps with positive mindsets that they might like to choose to have each day. Then on Thursday the kids made positive posters with their mentor/mentee to promote positivity within our classroom. The posters look great!
Friday we played a game called "See, Run, Do". Teams of three competed to recreate a detailed carnival picture but only one person was allowed to see the original copy which was hanging in the hallway. The "Seeer" was the only team member who was allowed to see the picture and they had to describe it to the "Runner" who in turn gave the details to the "Doer". The "Runner" was like the messenger while the "Doer" was the drawer. It taught communication skills and the drawings were hilarious! The team picture that most closely resembled the original won candy! It sure was a fun game.
We also have t-shirt design winners! Woohoo. Hope everyone had a great weekend! Here's to another awesome week.
