Welcome back to the Ranum Middle School weekly blog!
As always we started the week with Mentor Monday and we talked about leadership styles that we feel we display. The following day we had Tutoring Tuesday which allowed students to catch up in their classes they are falling behind in.
On Wednesday, we continued discussing emotional intelligence (EQ) in order for students to truly understand where it originated from and how it impacts them on a daily basis. In order to hammer this point home, we played a fun game of Kahoot! Some questions would dive into who thought of emotional intelligence whereas others asked about countries around the world that had high or low EQ scores. Most questions were pretty challenging but they lead to great discussions.
We wrapped up the week talking about hot buttons (the situations in our lives that typically cause us to have a negative reaction because it bothers us in some way, shape or form). Students were very open to sharing some of their buttons and how their reactions have effected them in the past. We ended the week by creating skits based off of popular hot buttons and the students did an excellent job of representing the entire range of their hot buttons.
This was a great week talking about emotions and I think we all earned a well deserved Thanksgiving Break.
