Welcome back!
It was a short week this past week but we tried to fit in as much as possible. Mentoring Monday went well and we started those early conversations about how we can be better mentors and connect more with our mentees.
We tried out Tutoring Tuesdays for the first time with moderate success. There are still some students who claim they do not have any work to do but that was quickly solved by providing them with a book to read and a summary assignment. On Wednesday, we had a great group discussion around success and what it looks like at various points(ages) in our lives. Most students defined success in the same way and it had a lot to do with various accomplishments such as going to college, buying a house, owning a car, having a good job, etc. Finally, on Thursday we started a Listening Levels Activity. The first part required students to take a "quiz" on how well they listen to others. Many students were surprised that they were not at the highest level of listening but are starting to recognize why some of their actions/behaviors are not the best while listening.
I'm have the students perform skits on Tuesday of the different listening levels so it should be an entertaining class. Another fun week in the books!
