Hello again!
The week started off with no students as it was a non contact day on Monday, which allowed students to maximize their trick or treating.
On Tuesday, the 8th graders went to a play at Westminster High School so I had the mentees write a letter to their mentors about the skills they want help with this year and how much they appreciate their mentor. The letters were pretty good overall but students were still a little shy/proud about asking for help from someone.
On Wednesday we went over basic organization skills like how to keep your binder structured, how to use your planner and where to keep certain paperwork you get from different teachers. Let's just say my recycling bin was full by the end of the day after students tossed all unnecessary papers from their binders. After they cleaned out their binders, I had them clean out their lockers, which are a mess.
On Thursday and Friday we went over Thoughts and Emotions and what is the big difference between the two. We dove in pretty deep to see what is defined as a thought and what makes up an emotion in order for students to be able to separate the two in their minds. We wrapped it up by watching a short film called "The Quiet". It's basically a film about a girl being chased by a man who is supposed to pick her up after school because her mother asked him too. The problem is she has no idea who he is so she runs away into the woods. Between the music and the chase scenes, it really makes students feel a variety of emotions.
This week we will continue to dive into more emotions!
Thanks for reading!
