This week was all about getting things done for YESS. Monday the kids took a Social Emotional survey that they'l take again at the end of the year. They might have moaned and groaned a bit, but afterwards they got to play games on the Chromebooks so they were just fine. =)
Tutoring Tuesday was a success with CNN news writing and checking mentee's classes. I also had the kids try a new way of communicating with their mentee during check-in; they had eight minutes to communicate ONLY through writing and facial expressions. They had a GREAT time and most kids begged to do it again!
Wednesday and Thursday were spent discussing, planning, and designing something to go on a Shaw Heights YESS t-shirt. Every kid submitted a design then each class voted on their top two favorites. Today, the kids will vote on their favorite among all ten designs and we'll have two winners for the front and the back of the t-shirt. Stay tuned for the winning designs!
I took the kids outside on Friday to enjoy the beautiful fall weather. Too bad both the Rockies and the Broncos lost yesterday. Let's hope for a better week in Colorado sports!
