This week at Ranum we completed our Time Capsules. The students had a lot of fun bringing in pictures and personal items to put into their time capsule. Some things that were brought in include; baby and family photos, chapstick, candy, pencils, a Colorado Rockies baseball, and hair just to name a few. The only required items were a personal letter to their future self, a questionnaire that asked them what their favorite things are right now, a height measurement, and a hand tracing. Overall, the students were very excited and one student even put their address on their time capsule so I could ship it to them when they graduate instead of opening it at the end of the year...we'll see how that goes.
We also did a couple personality tests so they could see where they fall on that scale and how it effects group work and other relationships. Students would highlight certain words that they felt represented them and this would place you into 1 of 4 categories. Once students found their category, I had them read a personality definition for that category to see if it matched and to their amazement they would say, "that's me!".
Monday will be the announcement of Mentor and Mentee pairs, which of course everyone is looking forward to.
Have a great weekend!
