It was a short week but somehow it felt full. We started with an activity called speed matching. Speed matching was a chance for every mentor to meet every mentee and vice versa. Students were given some generic questions but also had the freedom to ask whatever they may have wanted to know about the other person. The following day I had each mentor and mentee choose their top 3 students that they wanted to be paired with and they had to give a solid reason for their choice.
The week ended with us working on our individual time capsules. Students went through a little questionnaire that asked them what their current favorite things are, like movies or music or activities, etc. They also wrote a letter to their future self talking about their current self. We took down their current heights, did a hand measurement and will put in a current picture of themselves. It's a great activity and at the end of the year, they can see how much they've grown, literally and figuratively, or they can hold onto it until they graduate high school or however long they want to.
Another great week in the books, can't wait for this week!
