Whoops, sorry everyone! I just realized I didn't post last week. With a week off for Thanksgiving break I was a little spacey coming back! Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and is ready for the whirlwind of December!
Mentor Monday was a success in all classes. We focused on successes and struggles with mentees then offered advice to each other. Tutoring continued on both Tuesdays and Fun Friday was spent playing Thanksgiving games and a work day last week.
In the past two weeks of class, we wrapped up our Race unit by creating projects that stated "I Am..." then we also dismissed any racist or stereotypical comments about ourselves. The projects turned out really nice. Some are hanging in our room; if you have a chance, stop by our room and check them out! Thursday was a day all about gratitude; I showed a video about showing gratitude for the little things in life and mentor/mentee pairs played a gratitude game with M&Ms. It was a nice bonding experience for the pairs. This week we started Unit 2, Relationships. We created spheres of influence that showed all the relationships we have in our lives then trust was the focus for Thursday and Friday. Three of my classes were lead by mentors who taught the Trust Bridge lesson. It was a great leadership experience for those kids. The bridges are turning out great! We'll share them this week.
We've had a great past few weeks and, luckily, so have the Broncos! Three wins in a row?! Awesome. Here's to another super week with YESS.
