Emotions Everywhere!

Last week the mentors continued their leadership slideshow and Tutoring was a success as kids worked hard to get assignments in before break.

Wednesday was all about emotions.  We classified dozens of moods/emotions into one of the six universal emotions; happiness, sadness, anger, fear, disgust, and surprise.  We talked about how emotions are very personal; one person could feel happy when calm while another could feel intense anger.  The kids then learned about triggers and discussed them with each other.  Thursday was a fun day of Kahoot review of what we've covered in emotions so far.  We also looked at the characters of Inside Out and got to see sketches of over a dozen other emotional characters that almost made the movie.  The kids are also diligently working on completing an intense emotion word search!  If they complete it, they earn fruit snacks or spicy chips!

Friday was a day of crosswords and logic puzzles all based around the holidays and two students from our program competed in the school spelling bee.  Looks like the Broncos season is over...boo but winter break is just around the corner!  Here's to surviving these next four days.  Haha. =)
